Wish the property was straightforward about complete lack of food options on the island after 9 p. Arrived on last ferry at 9, no indication that there was zero food on the island after 9, and zero food options at hotel, also. Overall felt desolate and low key creepy and an absolute rip off for $500

We just stayed at the gorgeous Glamping property of collective retreats on Governors Island last week. Our stay, and experience overall was outstanding. The setting is unbeatable; with tents in the foreground and lady Liberty and the south of Manhattan for a backdrop! It’s breathtaking both day and night. We opted for a journey tent but we would upgrade to a tent with our own private bathroom next time. The facilities were spotless though! The little extras like breakfast delivery, s’mores and campfires at night, glamorous details in the room…all left us wanting to come back again. We were so impressed by the level of service the staff provided. It’s clear that Evan runs a tight ship when every single staff member you engage with is helpful professional and absolutely lovely. Namira checked us in on arrival and even brought breakfast to our tent the next morning! We hope to be back again this season before they close in November. If you are reading this, you must try this wonderful experience for yourself.

Comfortable Stay

I stayed in the Outlook Villa for my solo trip. Overall it was nice and comfortable. Service was very good and the villa was beautiful. I had a few issues but it didn’t impact my vacation time. Twice I had people enter the villa without checking. I know it’s a relaxed atmosphere but it did freak me out that despite having the privacy button on, people still entered. The wifi is not strong in the actual villa. It kept dropping and I ended up hot spotting to my personal phone.

Lovely stay at the Collective. Welcomed at the ferry and drove round to the retreat. We were checked in, driven to our tent, showed around & within 20 minutes, we were settled in. The tent was gorgeous & the place felt very safe. We didn’t eat dinner but the views were incredible. Air traffic was loud but it’s NYC, nothing unexpected. Breakfast food was delicious. Would definitely stay again & will recommend to friends.

It was a very nice and unique stay. Sleeping tent and adjoining bathroom tent roomy with a good view. Did need to pass through a 2-3 step open space to get from sleeping area to our bathroom tent. Liked their soaps and creams. The staff was very nice and aimed to please but it took many asks for simple things to be addressed (missing lt bulb, clearing/replacing used coffee items etc). Breakfast at restaurant very good. Dinner, for most part, good though some seasonings iffy. Our waitress was very accommodating and appreciated.Good bar and drinks. Enjoyed hammocks and fire pits. Should note it’s not a quiet location- water and air traffic a constant and sounds (sirens) carry across the water. Embraced it all as part of being in NYC!

Just what we expected

Just what we expected. Staff was nice & helpful. Hanging out in the middle of New York Harbor. Happy Hour was relaxed (1 free w your stay). Dinner was good (additional). Smores & Campfire were great (included). Beds were comfy. They had coffee available in our room to make which we did at 6am when we woke. Breakfast was fine and it starts at 8am (additional but came with a breakfast beverage - we had coffee). And they will hold your bags after checkout if you want to go explore Governor's Island - which we did. Overall a relaxing & enjoyable time. You will hear the ferry & helicopters from time to time but that's nothing compared to NYC constant noise.
