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.

Really head office, should be engaged in how poorly the experience can be for customers. Read less

My husband and I just returned from a week here. I was a bit hesitant to stay at a hotel with all that's going on but, my stay here has reassured me. Check in was done in the driveway as we pulled up. Jack checked us in and he was GREAT! Our room wasn't quite ready and he was able to upgrade us to one with a balcony given the vacancy level. All staff were masked and actively cleaning throughout our stay. The ice machines were not in use because they were too high touch (smart) so bags of ice were available at the bar for in room. Assigned seating in the pool area and all guests being mindful of the distancing and mask use made it a different but, enjoyable and relaxing stay. The canoes, life jackets and paddle boards are all sanitized after use and were great fun. Will be back! Can't beat the view! Read less

We stayed at this property for our anniversary this past weekend June 14th. We knew that there would be many amenities that would not be open (pool, spa, inside dining) and we were fine with that. The location is beautiful and the property was well maintained. It was the first weekend that restrictions were lifted in this area to allow for patio dining. We found had lunch on the patio and it was fine. Servers are getting used to working with masks and gloves and there was a bit of back and forth in getting things like cutlery and condiments as they cannot be on the table as before. I think the staff will figure out what works and how to make it work efficiently in time. We ordered our dinner as takeout and took it back to our room, as it was a bit cool in the evening and we did not want to sit outside. Overall we had a relaxing stay given the circumstances. We adjusted our expectations and were just happy to be away somewhere for the first time in 3 months. Would love to return to the spa when it opens. Read less
