I took my mother to the retreat on Governor's Island for her 80th birthday and it was fabulous. The unique setting, views, staff and service was amazing. I will definitely be back!

Loved the atmosphere and vibe of the retreat. Food was great. The yoga was very fun. We were there on Thursday day/night. Many of the surrounding vendors are closed on Thursday, just a heads up if that is important to traveler.

Glamping at Collective Retreats, Governor’s Island

Nice stay for a couple of days! During the summer, the tents are very hot, even with the A/C and ventilation on full blast! Very noisy due to boats, circle line and helicopters tours! They do have earplugs in the tent which was very handy and appreciated.
Maria, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Staff was friendly, responsive, and prompt with requests. Accommodations were very clean. Loved they provided shuttle service to places you wanted to visit on the island. Restaurant on site, was delicious! We'll be back.

I hosted a group of ~a dozen of us for my husband’s birthday. The staff were amazingly welcoming and hospitable. We were picked up from the ferry in golf carts, whisked off to our tents and then enjoyed drinks on the deck - taking in the views of the Statue of Liberty and downtown. We hosted dinner at Three Peaks and everyone raved about the meal. The steak was top notch. We closed the night out around the campfire under the stars. Couldn’t have been better a better time and so worth it.

The tents were dirty and old. The zippers in the tents and for the bathrooms were old and did not work. And we were woken up early in the morning by construction just a few feet from our tent.

Besides the Staten Island Ferries and Party Boats at 2am The Retreat was beautiful and exciting

This truly was an experience. The staff were amazing, and whilst you are "clamping", everything was so comfortable and clean. Would defy go again.

4/10 Fair

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

Had a fabulous and relaxing time celebrating my birthday. We will definitely be returning. Hope to take advantage of more activities and would rent one with a bathroom. Really impressed.
Rebecca, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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.

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.

4/10 Fair

Really bad experience while in tent. A staff member from the hotel brought new customers to our tent while we were sleeping and opened the tent while I was shouting there are people inside. He just said sorry and left, without any other apologies. We were barely awake and what if we were not dressed?
