JW Marriott The Rosseau Muskoka Resort & Spa

Breakfast was alacarte and lots of healthy choices. Chop steak restaurant is excellent. Outside pool heated and very clean

All good

Spend your money elsewhere. You get nickled and dined here. $30/night to SELF PARK. $60/night for resort fees and all that got us was access to bikes. They tried to charge us $50 to cancel our dinner in the hotel. And to do room service they charge you a service fee and delivery fee! Petty and greedy was my takeaway.

We spent the long weekend at the JW Marriott The Rosseau Muskoka Resort & Spa with our kids and parents and had such a lovely stay, as always. We’ve been coming around this same time over the years for well over a decade and it’s become one of those family traditions we all look forward to. This visit was especially meaningful because we were celebrating our son’s upcoming graduation and the team went out of their way to make it feel special. We were welcomed with treats in our suite and surprised again during meals at the restaurants with thoughtful touches throughout the weekend. It was incredibly kind and so appreciated. The grounds are beautiful, peaceful and just so serene. There’s such a nice balance of relaxation and fun. We really enjoyed all the programming and amenities. The birds of prey experience and the pontoon boat tour were highlights for us and we were hoping to squeeze in some of the art classes too but ran out of time. The kids also loved taking advantage of the inflatables and activities around the resort. Our two-bedroom suite was expansive, luxurious, clean and had fantastic views of the grounds and Lake Rosseau. We made breakfast in the room but enjoyed the restaurants, food, and entertainment throughout the day. The staff are what make the experience so memorable year after year. The only thing we were disappointed to miss was canoeing/kayaking/paddleboarding and lounging by the beach. In past years those activities were available during the May long weekend, but we understand the water was still too cold this year and staff mentioned they would be opening in June. A thank you to everyone who made our stay extra special: April, Kabir, Jesus, Amila, Dharren, Allan, Annika, Gianna, Brandon, Zoe, Edgarood, Princess, Lekhan, Amandeep and Sheena. Jesus somehow seemed to be everywhere at once: always friendly and helpful. I've missed a few but everyone was wonderful. Overall, it was another wonderful family weekend at a place that’s become really special to us over the years.

Overall very clean and tidy. Massage was very relaxing. Just a few things I noticed… the feminine products can be refilled more regularly, one of the massage chair is very loud, and the red light in the salt room is broken.

We were looking forward to spending the day at the Hydrospa -- it was our anniversary and this was a special activity for us to do together. Unfortunately, the men's side wasn't working -- no dry sauna, steam sauna, whirlpool/hot tub. We were able to use the oxygen bar once -- then it was broken. One of the massage chairs also wasn't working properly. Overall, it was disappointing considering we paid full price for 2 of us for the day and really only were able to go outside once the rain had stopped in the afternoon. Will not do it again.

We stayed two nights for a corporate event. Pros: Our second floor room was probably the nicest room I have stayed in for quite a while. King bed was a bit more firm than my preference but good overall. Nice little sitting / TV area. Gas fireplace was nice option. Small deck outside is a nice sitting area in nice weather. Small kitchenette is cozy but enough to make some basic. We opted to make breakfast in our room. Food at the event was very good. We ate at "Lakes" for both nights and the food was good. Beer list has local beers from Muskoka. We enjoyed a short walk around the grounds, I imagine its a bit nicer in the summer or fall with more foliage. We enjoyed the pool and outdoor hot tub one night. We opted to go after dinner and it was a bit quieter than when we walked by earlier. Cons: Alcohol prices are high IMO. I suppose you can BYO for your room but I personally would have been more inclined to have more drinks at the bar or with dinner had they been a bit less pricey. The Lakes Muskoka Room for dinner is nice, but we had the good fortune of a nice sunny day which meant it was quite warm / blindingly bright so we had to face away from the window. The other seats in Lakes are basically just in the lobby. It's fine, but feels very exposed to me personally. I expect in the summer more people eat outside. The Chophouse menu looked good but was spendier than I was in the mood for. We decided relatively last minute to try the Italian restaurant Teca but could only get a seating for later in the evening so if you are set on one specific restaurant I would encourage you to consider making a reservation. The menus are available on the website. Our room had an adjoining door which I don't love, but it wasn't actually an issue for us, and I imagine is a plus for some guests. Our deck didn't have much of a view (very heavy tree cover). Overall we enjoyed our stay and I would stay again but I looked up regular rates I am not sure I would spend that on my own. I would come back, but for the money I think I would personally look to a cottage or other vacation property first but it depends on what you are looking for.
