I would have appreciated if the kitchen was open extended hours for snacks. It's a car free Island so there are no stores and only one other restaurant. Everything has to be brought over on the ferry so pack carefully. They do pick up you up on a golf cart so don't worry about the walk.

This is a beautiful outdoor glamping retreat overlooking NY Harbor, The Statue of Liberty and The NYC skyline. We went in late October and it was so cozy, comfy and relaxing. You can relax at the retreat or walk around Governors Island, take in the sights and engage in the various activities. The bar is open all day but the restaurant is only open for breakfast, lunch and dinner . There are coolers or refrigerators in your lodgings...so pack your own snacks and beverages. Sit on your deck, enjoy a glass of wine and watch the sunset over the harbor...unforgettable!

$20 for a beer? What's up with that? Cocktails and wine more reasonably priced, not sure what the deal is on beer pricing, but I went to get one and had to abort, being congenitally incapable of dropping $20 for a brew. It was quite loud in the morning due to helicopters -- not their fault and they warn you about it and supply earplugs, but FYI.

Staying here was big fun. A quick ferry ride and you feel like you've really escaped NYC, and the campground was great -- tents/beds are comfortable, staff is helpful, loved the campfires and hammocks. My daughter and I loved it and would totally do it again.

The noise level at night was unbearable. We did not sleep. There are party cruise boats that dock right in front of the property until 4am and play music so loudly that can be heard for miles. Some disclosure about this given the price for a one night stay would have been appreciated.

Our tent was wonderfully appointed and the property grounds and views were amazing.

I liked everything.

I was there with my twins and their families. Breakfast was in a fun location (tent) and quite good.

We had a 45mins wait for concierge pick to the camp suite . Irritating ,but otherwise we had a great time.

the hot water didnt work in one of the showers. the paths between tents was unkempt. it would make the experience better if the grounds were as maintained as the center of the area

it was a perfect escape from the city. the accommodations were cozy, clean and exactly the glamping experience I was looking for

I should have planned to arrive earlier and leave my bag to explore the island. This was no fault of The Collective, just poor planning on my part.

Our stay at the Collective on Governors Island was one of the most unique, peaceful, and enjoyable experiences I have ever had in New York City. The retreat is absolutely bucolic. The accommodations and views are spectacular, and the service is impeccable.

Food in restaurant, selection and quality

For discounted price is amazing experience but for regular price $600 per night would not worth it. Thank you

We had a very disappointed stay. We were celebrating a very special date and booked the most expensive and comfortable unit in the hotel. When we got there, the staff showed us around and “looked like” everything was working in the cabine. We went out for dinner and when came back the unit was freezing we tried to adjust the heater and noticed it was not working at all. Called the staff and took a while to someone come and try to fix the problem. There was no one who knew how to fix a heater. They suggested to bring 2 portable heaters, and after some time we noticed the room was still freezing and the portable heaters were not working. It was almost midnight and we still couldn’t enjoy our time, it was very stressful and we had to move to another unit much inferior than the one we booked. The new unit we moved to was not very clean and in the morning, the coffee machine was not working. If they want to charge over $1.2k for a night, they need to guarantee everything is working well and also have a quick backup plan for this kind of situation. We did a formal complaint in the following day and got partial reimbursement. The manager who helped us was very nice, but again the whole experience was disappointed. And our special celebration was not what we were expecting.

The view of Manhattan is beautiful and it is easy to access

Very limited and pricey food menu.

The tents are very nice, and clean and have everything needed. Check-in staff are very friendly too.

Our bathroom tent made an awful, loud, disgusting pumping noise for the entirety of our stay making it impossible to sleep. Management was non-responsive. The issue was never resolved. I would never pay for this experience again.

The city views.

When we arrived it was 105 deg. Ice and cold water in the Yeti cooler would have been very helpful. Working with the look for the place would help. Use plants from the dessert. The place looked uncared for. Trees not trimmed, weeds and parched earth and rocks with no real paths. Our tent had an opening in the top and so when it rained it came in while we were sleeping. No covering over the porch area, so the sun was beating down on us.

Breakfast was good, but the french press had the wrong size insert so when you poured your coffee you got lots of grounds. Since we have a french press at home, we knew how it should work.
