Reviews and Ratings
My family and I had a lovely time at The Palms Bay, enjoying the warm hospitality of the staff and the stunning ocean views. The cleanliness of the hotel was a strong positive; however, we found the bathrooms in the rooms quite cramped, which dampened the otherwise great experience. While the highlights were the friendly service and wonderful meals from CJs, the bathroom situation needs improvement.
My stay at The Palms was a wonderful experience, despite a few minor hiccups. The charm of the property really stood out, and the beach access was a huge plus. However, the rooms felt a bit tight and could use some extra features for comfort. Overall, it was a delightful getaway, and I would definitely consider returning!
My stay at the Palms Hotel was challenging. While some staff members were accommodating, the overall experience was tarnished by unclean accommodations and maintenance issues. The location is appealing, but the price certainly does not align with the condition of the facilities.
I had a mixed experience at The Palms Hotel on Fire Island. The rooms were beautiful, especially the apartment-style cottage, and the staff was very helpful. However, my friends had a terrible experience with their room being dirty and not well-maintained. The location was decent but not as close to the beach as we expected, which was disappointing. Overall, it could be a great place, but attention to cleanliness and service consistency is needed.
My stay at the Palms Hotel was highly disappointing. The initial welcome was marred by a messy room that didn't meet basic cleanliness standards, which had a significant negative impact on our trip. While there were a few positive interactions with staff, overall, the lack of maintenance and attention to detail was concerning. It's important to be cautious when considering this hotel, as it may not provide the experience you're hoping for.
