Palms Hotel Fire Island

The service was absolutely incredible. The boys working in the courtyard were so helpful and sweet! Me and my friends come here every year and it never disappoints. They’ve upgraded their amenities as well which is great. Best hotel on fire island for sure.

We come here every summer for a weekend and it’s always a great time. Clean, fresh hotel, great amenities like bikes, complementary breakfast, perfect location, awesome customer service etc. Highly recommend for your next weekend getaway.

In a nutshell, you get what you pay for. The hotel was just okay. On the plus side, they have all the things you need to enjoy the beach and rental was seamless (chairs, umbrellas, wagons, towels etc). Cookies and champagne (complementary) each day was a nice surprise. On the downside, walls are paper thin and quiet hours were not well enforced. Because the doors are old, you have to pull them shut super hard to close them and we were repeatedly jerking awake from hearing doors slam. Housekeeping also left our door ajar day one, assuming because they did not shut it hard enough, which left us feeling a little unsafe. Luckily nothing went missing because the room was open at least three hours. The hotel had lots of mosquitos and our legs look like we went camping. We got smarter at the end of the stay and started shoving towels under the doors to prevent all the mosquitoes from coming in. The rooms were not very well cleaned, we noticed a lot of sand in the sheets the day we arrived. The complementary breakfast was at a sports bar a few blocks away and consisted of cold pancakes and bagels. The private beach area was also a few blocks away and was a few couches in front of the marina (no ability to get into the water). It smelled bad and was poorly maintained so we spent no time there. The hotel was also having a sewage issue so the entire back patio was closed the whole weekend and the first floor smelled really foul.

My friend and I stayed at The Palms for two nights; last Sunday and Monday night. We had a wonderful time. It was so relaxing. The weather couldn’t have been better. We came at a great time. It was the perfect getaway. The room was very quiet, clean, comfortable and a convenient spot to all. We were so excited to have the complimentary champagne and chocolate chip cookies in the afternoon - which was absolutely delicious! Our stay included a nice, hot breakfast. We loved Pat at the front desk. She was so friendly and very accommodating. Also, the students that worked there were so kind and helpful. The owners were so nice and took great care of us to make sure our stay went smoothly. They did a great job making accommodations for us. We had such a great, fun and lovely time. We will definitely be back next year!

We recently stayed at The Palms on Fire Island with six girlfriends to celebrate our 50th birthdays, and it could not have been more perfect. From the moment we arrived, the staff went above and beyond — genuinely attentive, friendly, and ready to make our stay special. The rooms were incredibly spacious, spotless, and beautifully maintained. Every detail felt thoughtful, and the 2 PM toast and cookies quickly became one of our favorite daily traditions. It was such a charming touch that made us feel instantly at home. The amenities made enjoying the beach effortless — everything we needed was right at our fingertips. And with shops and restaurants just steps away, we were able to explore and indulge without ever worrying about transportation. Our stay was relaxing, fun, and full of wonderful memories. The Palms is truly a gem, and we’re already talking about coming back. Highly recommended for anyone looking to celebrate, recharge, and enjoy the best of Fire Island!

We had an incredible time staying at the Palms! Joe, the owner, and all of his staff went out of their way to make sure we were well taken care of. Our beautiful suite, the Sea Breeze, was huge and had everything we needed for a wonderful stay! I cannot say how much we enjoyed our stay there and how much we appreciate Joe and his amazing staff!
