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.

Not sure how I felt about this hotel. Good points the outdoor grounds are beautiful. They make great hot chocolate and gave us a complimentary candle that smells amazing. Overall I feel like I expected more for our 450$ a night stay. Dated is the best word for the whole experience. For some reason all the staff was black it felt very wrong… Read more
Not sure how I felt about this hotel. Good points the outdoor grounds are beautiful. They make great hot chocolate and gave us a complimentary candle that smells amazing. Overall I feel like I expected more for our 450$ a night stay. Dated is the best word for the whole experience. For some reason all the staff was black it felt very wrong to me like I travelled back in time. The room was dated. I get the whole country chic look but the baseboards have peeling paint and we couldn’t access the balcony because it’s November (not sure what the danger is or if they don’t want to clean the snow on the balcony). The pool area needs some serious TLC and needs to be upgraded badly. The pictures made it look fantastic but it was actually pretty dingy. Room service was ok. Limited menu, thank god we didn’t have to eat there more than one day. We travelled as a family not much to do for the kids. They should have a movie room and more activities going on. I don’t think we will be back. Felt like it was for privileged elderly white couples. Read less

Stayed for my wife's 30th birthday. The service from the gentleman who checked us in, Larson (the concierge?) And our housekeeping person was absolutely top notch. Couldn't have asked for a better stay! Thank you, we will absolutely be back!

I attended a 3day conference at this Marriott resort. It's a fabulous resort situated on the beautiful Rosseau lake in Muskoka, Ontario. The views from the resort are breathtaking. It's a very peaceful environment with wonderful walking trails. A fabulous place for a few days getaway!

Check in staff and housekeeping are great. We have been here on several occasions and this will be our last stay. We were given an accessibility room with a rooftop view as attached. I’m assuming because we used our points?! I called to complain and Amanda and Raquel were great but once you speak to Elizabeth or Liz can’t remember the name beware.… Read more
Check in staff and housekeeping are great. We have been here on several occasions and this will be our last stay. We were given an accessibility room with a rooftop view as attached. I’m assuming because we used our points?! I called to complain and Amanda and Raquel were great but once you speak to Elizabeth or Liz can’t remember the name beware. She doesn’t have the interest of the customer just the $$$. She was going to move us up but to a smaller room, so why bother we stayed out. Keep in mind they charge you a daily resort fee over and above the hotel stay fee. The grounds are beautiful, but the resort is extremely boring. The lower level has been nicely renovated over the last few years but the pool and rooms need a major update. Food, well this one has always been an issue. If you want a fancy steak with frites “fries” essentially go for it, but there is nothing decent to eat if you stay more than a day. You will get bored of the small menu. Not worth the over hour drive to eat elsewhere. I’m sure off season would fill up more if there was a decent menu and more to do. JW Muskoka you have served over 5 years of great memories, but staff like Liz and the price tag for what you receive just isn’t worth it anymore!! Read less
