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.

This resort took great care of us during challenging times. We focused on the outdoors and spent many hours in the surrounding forest and hills. That said, the resort itself was exactly what I expected when it came to room, bed, meals, lobby, personalities.

We had booked the weekend of Dec.12 for a tiny wedding at the resort...the weeks leading up to the date had a lot of challenges with the Covid numbers growing and provincial rules changing..both Erin and Kelley (in Events) helped us to make adjustments to our arrangements quickly and efficiently. When we arrived at the hotel we were impressed with every staff member (housekeeping, front desk, restaurants, bar and spa), all were so friendly, helpful and happy! Our suite was gorgeous and had some welcoming touches left for us that were much appreciated. The bed was the most comfortable we had ever slept in at a resort (i have to find the down comforter and pillows for home now!). We now look forward to celebrating our anniversary there each year. What a gift to have this beautiful resort in our own 'backyard'. Highly recommend a visit - the gorgeous lake views alone make it worth even a just a visit to one of their lovely restaurants. :) Read less

My partner had some business to attend to and brought me along for a romantic weekend away. I was very excited after seeing pictures of the property. While the location/resort IS beautiful, I found myself disappointed many times throughout our stay. The room was large, tastefully decorated and had a nice layout.. we had a balcony with a beautiful view however it was seasonally locked which was disappointing. Our bed was brutal.. anytime my partner moved I’d go bouncing as well. The fitted sheet and mattress pad did not fit correctly and constantly came off.. having a bare hotel mattress exposed throughout the night is gross to say the least. I decided to indulge at the spa.. my massage was ok but the walls were paper thin and I could hear the man talking in the room next me the entire time.. further to that the relaxing music was on a CD that kept skipping and glitching causing the poor woman massaging me to have to stop multiple times to get the cd out and clean it and try and restart it. Hardly made for a relaxing experience. The restaurants were obscenely expensive for the quality/quantity being offered. $25 for a glass of wine and $36 for basic bacon and eggs is pretty steep. The room was equipped with a fridge/microwave/stovetop and cookware.. had I known what I know now I would have brought some of my own food. All in all it is a beautiful place, just didn’t meet expectations at the price point. As for covid... I found there to be very poor communication in the hour changes to amenities .. I understand that things are closing early, but it would be nice if that was reflected on the tv hotel info and website.. we went down for a swim at 9:30 only to find a sign that it now closes at 9 not 11 as advertised. I don’t think I would return. Read less
