The Madison Fire Island Pines

Quiet place, close to the beach and ferry, Zach was kind and welcoming, making me feel welcome. Warmed swimming pool with only hearing crickets! Feel between Hawaii for the beach and French Rivera in the hotel, but on quiet mode! What i wanted! Towels, chair and umbrella for the beach!

The issue was to regulate the temperature in the room, too cold for me. Note for next time: Need to ask when you have the key how to manage it. Note for travelers for the village (not the hotel). Very expensive small grocery shop (but high diversity in the choice for the food that reduced the pain associated with high price).

Zack was very nice and accommodating. He was a great help in facilitating our stay.

N/A - The accommodations met our expectations.

The location was great. Short walking distance to the ferry, market, liquor shops, and bar/clubs. Can't beat it.

Nothing

I’ve seen other reviews and this they completely undersell this property. It is beautiful, has an excellent location (1 min from FIP ferry) and the facilities, especially the Japanese garden and pool, are stunning. Another review complained about bathroom products; they now have Malin+Goetz, which is a luxury brand. And one mentioned the staff wasn’t friendly: Mike was excellent, made us breakfast, and sangria, so either it was an off day or the customer. Overall, this is the only place I want to stay in FIP.

Minor grips is the rooms have a high degree of variability (some have tons of windows / light, others less), so ensure you know which one you get.
