What a simply magical New York experience. The staff are amazing and clearly love their jobs and make every guest feel that way. We are New Yorkers and this was just a summer escape from the routine and it was addicting. Thank you.

So beautiful, an escape from the city. Our tent rattled so loud throughout the night it felt like someone shaking a saucepan full of cutlery over our heads—even with white noise on and noise cancelling headphones in. Dinner at the restaurant was incredible, but breakfast was stingy AF. Highly recommend for families

It's a great location with probably the best views on NY Harbor. When it got a bit breezy during the night the noise kept us up. Not sure if you can do anything about it. We loved the fire pit. Breakfast was quite nice, although dinner at 3 Peaks was a bit disappointing. Al the staff were great.

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.

I’ve never camped at all so this was a great experience! The bathrooms, grounds, room were all clean. I did go on the days where NYC had low humidity so I’m not sure how hot the tents would be on the 100+ days. I love governors island but right now there is a lot of construction all around the retreat. My only recommendation for improvement would be the continental breakfast was super sparse… what they charge for the night we could at least get a banana or some toast. All in all I did have a great time!

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.

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.

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!

Staff were super friendly and food was amazing. Unfortunately there was construction going on during my stay right behind the tents which made the experience not as enjoyable.

Where do I start about collective retreat from the time I got off the ferry they had a golf cart waiting for me. Took me to the retreat. I got the most beautiful tent now. Mind you this is outdoors. It’s grassy,it’s dusty. It’s not the Ritz Carlton, but the view was amazing. The tent was comfortable, but let’s talk about the staff, and I got names to mention 101/10 all across the board.. these are all kids working here. (now I’m just calling them kids because I’m older than them. They were like in their 20s early 30s so their kids in my eyes LOL )I’m telling you they’re doing the cooking. The cleaning greeting is making sure all staff is comfortable. I never had experienced something like this before. Just literally on Governors Island. It was amazing experience.Musa the GM , Leeds, an amazing crew .Then there is Jordan,Deona ,Aaliyay,Zaby,,Manuel,Nat,Awa Alton and Joshua. and how could we forget the maintenance guys and the Housekeeper just an amazing experience the only thing make sure you come with your own little night snack snacks what they offer is not worth seven dollars that’s my only thing and give us some bug spray, LOL but I would have to say my 48th birthday was amazing. They made it so special and I left with a little goodie bag. I so love this place literally on Governors Island. OH, AND THE RESTAURANT THE FOOD IS LITERALLY COOKED IN FRONT OF YOU FRESH AND THEY ALL WORK AS A TEAM TO MAKE EVERYTHING GO SO SMOOTH SO PLEASANT WHILE YOU ENJOY THE BEAUTIFUL SCENERY
