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.

Great view, poor service and poor value. Read less

Given JW moniker and Lake Rosseau location, we expected more than this tired place was able to provide. Despite the lovely staff operating well in COVID, the water damage in room and resto, weeds growing on resto terrace, tired beach area and mediocre food did not meet our expectations. First and last visit.

If there ever was a little piece of heaven on earth it would be the JW Muskoka! Having traveled to places near and far, there is nothing quite like being in your own country backyard to experience true tranquility. From the moment we turned the corner up the driveway and saw the resort crest over the horizon, to checking in with welcoming staff, our stay just kept getting better and better. The suite was spacious, clean, comfortable and well appointed. The views breathtaking and hypnotizing as you watch the sun bounce off the lake like little diamonds. The calendar of events and itinerary well planned and something for everyone. Families and couples alike will find this retreat to be just what is needed. Already starting to plan our winter getaway to take in the winter scenery and activities! Looking forward to coming back JW!! Read less

We recently stayed here for 3 nights (Sept 8th-10th) for a local getaway. The resort staff went above and beyond to assist and everyone deserves to be commended for providing such excellent customer service throughout our stay. We felt very safe as all precautions were taken by the JW Marriott against the spread of COVID. Our one-bedroom unit was immaculately clean.We enjoyed the 2 big-screen TVs in the room, along with the nicely appointed kitchenette. We dined once at Teca on the premises. The food was well-prepared and delicious - my husband said the lamb chops were the best he had ever had - although the portion sizes were skimpy. The only reason I am not giving the JW Marriott five stars is because of the wear and tear on the exterior of the buildings. The resort could really use extra TLC here. The paint was peeling in some parts, shingles were old, tiles around the swimming pool were starting to come off, rust on the eaves, not all lights were working, etc. While we enjoyed using the indoor/outdoor pool, the water temperature fluctuated between cool/warm. We had a large balcony on the second floor and there was moss and weeds growing up through the cracks in the bottom. Hopefully, the resort plans to invest in restoring the outside of the resort to its glory days. The grounds were well-maintained and the setting still beautiful as always. All in all, a delightful stay and I would recommend the JW Marriott for couples, families or corporate events. Read less
