Taboo Muskoka

Perfect getaway . It was during the week so its was peaceful and quiet. Rooms and facilities were clean, views from balcony priceless, plus the heated . The only issue was the food. Only a couple of options on site. We ended up driving out 10 minutes.

Rooms were clean and updated but very dark. Staff was excellent. We selected a lakes room on the first floor. Paid a premium for it. We’re very disappointed that here was no lake view. Trees had been allowed to grow up well past the first floor even impeding views on the second. No where in the website was this mentioned. Every room showed a beautiful lake view. VERY MISLEADING AT BEST.

rooms tired ,chipped, one restaurant not usable because of wet ,slippery wooden stairs. stranded in lobby for 25 min as elevator was "down again", it happens often. no free drink, no comp, no apology, duty manager was curt and impolite, his elavator did not work but i was a imposition. food in rest was not great chick fingers overdone, fish and chips smelled too fishy, all for $60 +. really , it is true ,one option for food, they know they have you unless you drive into Gravenhurst, so it shows front desk was unmanned more than half the times i was there. one middle aged lady on fronk desk with short hair was super professional and helped me with some things. DO NOT GO IF YOU HAVE MOBILITY PROBLEMS staff park golf carts at reception all day but never to offer to guests. My suprise 35 th annivers for my wife was a fail. SO TABOO GETS BIG FAIL , YOU WILL BE SORRY IF YOU GO.

Our second year here staying at the hotel. Beautiful place right on the clean lake with lots of activities -well maintained tennis courts, pickel ball, bikes included, heated pools, ping pong, darts, play ground, kayak, canoes, stand up paddle boards etc -Hotel rooms are renovated and clean -Did not seem too busy or over crowded around the resort which was nice ..maybe because it's the end of Aug? -Staff were all friendly and always trying to accommodate -We ordered some food in instead of eating at the Boathouse restaurant which worked out fine. -Used the gym once and although a bit small, it was clean with good selection of equipment, weights and some treadmills/ellipticals -Beautiful sunsets and a lovely, relaxing place to spend with family or loved ones. We would return!

This place is not worth the money. We paid $725/night for a lake view room on the 4th floor, including breakfast. At face value, the resort looks alright but it’s all of the little things adding up to the overall experience where it fails completely - especially for that price. If it was $400-$450/night then maybe we would be more forgiving but at $725, one would expect little things like cotton linens on bed (they are a polyester blend), comfortable pillows (all of them were lumpy and felt homemade), quiet or peaceful time at the beach (power washing the deck and construction going on during prime time/afternoons). Bad on us for expecting to these things. Staff at the restaurant were nice and friendly but the food is overpriced for dinner and the breakfast prices are high for what you get. The kicker was at a Canadian resort like this - they didn’t even serve real maple syrup with the dried out waffle!?!? Pancake syrup? Really? When you read the other reviews and wonder, “is it really that bad?” It’s not that it’s bad it’s just really poor value for what you pay. Judging from the reviews on here and other places, you can also tell they really don’t care. It’s a “one and done” resort meaning you may go once but won’t be back and it’s as if the staff know this so they really don’t care to improve. They don’t respond to any of their reviews, again showing their lack of care. Horrible impression to see a “we are hiring” sign on the way into the resort - we took it as “we don’t have enough staff”. I wonder how well the sign is working for recruiting? Like as if guests are applying? I wish I would have taken these reviews more seriously so….please reconsider if you’re in need of a time away. Deerhurst is a great option or if you don’t care if you’re on the water and need a relaxing time away - go for Langdon Hall where (for the same price or a bit less) you are treated like the royalty. At this rate, we question if this resort will survive the next five years. The location has potential but new management/ownership is needed.

I'm not paid to write a review, just want to express my true opinion. We booked a room for our wedding anniversary and we're upgraded to a gorgeous room!!! The stuff went above and beyond to make us feel welcomed. The room was modern and clean. Nice robes were provided, as well as a sweet greeting card from the staff. That night we went out for dinner. We got a nice table overlooking the water. The food was simple but tasty but dessert was the best part. We shared a dark chocolate tort. Thank you taboo for hosting us. We will definitely be back.
