The hotel

Canada’s first JW Marriott Resort & Spa, the Rosseau enjoys a prime location in natural, unspoiled countryside, overlooking beautiful Lake Rosseau in the community of Red Leaves. Indeed, guests have access to their very own stretch of sandy beach, complete with docking facility should you wish to enjoy a cruise along her waters or partake in a spot of fishing. There’s also a gorgeous outdoor swimming pool that winds its way indoors if the weather turns cooler, as well as a fully-equipped fitness centre and luxurious spa. Outdoor pursuits abound with tennis, nature hikes, canoeing and kayaking all on the agenda. After a busy day, you’ll be glad to relax in Teca, serving scrumptious Italian cuisine responsible for catapulting it into one of the top 10 restaurants in Canada! Or head for Cottages, a cosy lakeside country grill serving delicious local fare for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Afterwards, make your way to Lakes, serving a fine range of wines and nightcaps.

We stayed here for our 7th anniversary. Our stay was amazing! The concierge named Long, help us. He was so friendly and professional. He made us feel very welcome. Throughout the stay he was around and always friendly. The other hotel staff were friendly as well. We had a man take our luggage to our room, he was also very friendly, he told us about stuff to do in the area. We didn’t get his name. Vijay, helped us book our dinners. Our first night we ate at chopped steak house. The waiter was very polite and professional. We had an amazing meal. Vijay was superb! He had amazing service and was professional and friendly, we booked the ice caves restaurant, although he did not service us, he was there to ask us if we needed anything, and was very friendly. Our waiter Naveen was excellent as well. He was a very hard worker, we could tell he really cares about his customers. He provided excellent service, and even took photos of us throughout the night! The chef savio was excellent as well. The food was great and the service was perfect. For the activities, halie was our guide. She was very friendly and professional. There are a lot of activities offered at the marriot Rousseau, we did tile painting, slime making, snow shoeing, biking and s’mores making. There are many bonfires throughout the facility. We enjoyed them throughout the day and night. Heli was always there to be friendly and answer any questions we had. Sherman was another friendly activity advisor. He did the slime activity, and snowshoeing, he was very knowledgeable and made it very interesting. The spa staff were great, holly and Felicia were excellent and friendly, we had a very relaxing time. There is a heated indoor and outdoor pool , it was clean and relaxing as well. Sarah our housekeeper was friendly and nice, she helped us with whatever requests we needed for our room. Overall I would give the marriot jw rosseau a 10/10. Thank you to the amazing staff that served us Read less

I very rarely write reviews, however our experience at this resort is so exceptional that I want to express my gratitude to the wonderful staff in a review! The resort itself is beautiful. We have come in the fall, which is breathtaking and now in the winter, which has its own beauty and charm. Our room - during both stays - was perfect. This time we upgraded to a 2 bedroom executive suite and it is absolutely stunning. We have a wrap around balcony and beautiful views of a frozen magical lake. It truly feels as though we are at a resort. They offer so many fun activities for the kids, including tie dye T-shirt making, S'mores by a fire pit, and snow shoeing! As fun as all that has been for our kids ages 5 and 10 years old, the indoor/outdoor pool is their absolute favourite and ours too. The food here is absolutely delicious, we especially enjoyed the samosas and prime rib sandwich at the Lakes restaurant. The spa is gorgeous, we both had phenomenal massages. Perhaps the best part about this resort is the customer service, it truly is unparalleled. The JW Marriott Rosseau Muskoka truly know how to make people feel welcome. Everyone is wonderful, however we would specifically like to thank Peggy who went out of her way to help us with our booking before we even arrived, Tran who was so sweet delivering all our delicious room service, to Amanda, Joe, Alex and Dave - a huge thank you for your exceptional service! We will definitely be back! Read less

That said, the resort itself was exactly what I expected when it came to room, bed, meals, lobby, personalities.
