Five Star Wedding Review!

We held our wedding at The Palms Hotel this October. And all I can say is that it was PERFECT! Ceremony on the Bay Beach, Cocktail Hour in the Courtyard and Reception back on the Bay Beach, with after party at the Dive. Thanks to the attentive staff, our vision was brought to life! All the details they provided, from the romantic beach setting and decor to the decked-out golf cart, to the amazing suite for us and rooms for our guests, and of course the food and cocktails, which everyone is still raving about; our expectations were surpassed in every way imaginable.

Thank you everyone for helping to create such fantastic memories. We enjoyed every aspect of our wedding weekend, and you are ALL Rock Stars! Can't wait to see you next season!

A Perfect 50th Birthday Celebration at The Palms

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.

A Perfect Bachelorette Getaway at The Palms

I stayed at The Palms Hotel in Ocean Beach for my friend’s bachelorette weekend, and we could not have asked for a better experience. We stayed in one of the cottages, and from start to finish, the staff went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and celebrated.

From the complimentary bottle of champagne to the catering events, yoga on the beach and thoughtful photo op they set up for us, every detail felt personal and intentional. Breakfast was fresh and delicious, and the team was always attentive without being overbearing. They truly made the bride feel special—which, let’s be honest, is the whole point!

The bride (and all of us) would absolutely stay again. Highly recommend for group getaways or anyone looking for an easy, elevated beach stay!
