Reviews

• - Amely from United States (9/10)

  I loved mostly everything about our stay. The location was great, my surroundings were peaceful quiet and relaxing. It was so pleasantly strange to be so close to the city and have that much peace! The facilities were kept very clean so we were extremely satisfied with that. Initially, we were worried about how the outdoor bathrooms might be...they were great. The Byredo soaps...like a spa experience. I even looked them up online to purchase for my own home. I loved the comfort of our journey tent and the bed was incredible! We had everything we needed right in our little tent and it was so great to experience the sounds of nature (crickets and the water) and having the luxury of being "indoors" while still feeling like you were outside. I slept like a baby.

• - Iuliia from United States (9/10)

  I love location and people who are working there. Atmosphere was 10/10

• - Kourtney from United States (9/10)

  Loved it, a perfect (and quick) escape from the city! My husband and I stayed for a night for my birthday, and it was everything I wanted - a relaxing escape from the hustle and bustle of the city with a beautiful view, an incredible sunset, and amazing food and drinks! The staff was super friendly, and getting around the island was easy. I only wished we arrived earlier in the day to be able to explore a little more of what the island and the hotel property had to offer.

• - Hetal from United States (9/10)

  Great views and AC in the tent, boxes breakfast and coffee in the AM

• - Cheryl from United States (9/10)

  lawn games, fire pits and smores, free welcome drink, live music, glamping options, and beautiful city views

• - Melissa from United States (9/10)

  Everything was beautiful and clean. We really enjoyed our stay. I know there are mixed reviews on the restaurant, but we really enjoyed it. It’s definitely a fancier type of place, with smaller portions, but everything we had was delicious. After dinner, we saw someone order a cheeseboard that looks beautiful and delicious, so we ordered one to go. It arrived in the same beautiful presentation, not to go boxes and we so enjoyed that because it added to our romantic getaway.

• - Pritchard from United States (9/10)

  They should do a limited buffet bar in the am I think it would be profitable and good for guess, a chance to mingle with others - may be less waste.

• - Gerard from United States (9/10)

  Collective Governors Island gives you the seclusion one desires why giving you an amazing skyline view of the city. Roasting marshmallows by the fire pit overlooking the city night light definitely one of the evening’s highlights.

• - Suzanne from United States (9/10)

  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!
