I was here for a week at the end of October 2011 for a meeting. What a gorgeous resort! I had a suite and it certainly provided the tranquility I desired after long days of meetings. There is a retro 70s feel to the rooms. The bathroom is large with separate shower and tub. The bed is very comfortable. As... More

This property has a lot of potential and I am not sure why management are not taking these comments into consideration. The views and location are excellent and I would love to go back, but only if this property lives up to the prices they charge!!!! More

Was at Taboo for a 3 day conference in September. Because it was off-season, there were no other guests at the hotel (that i noticed), so the attention from the staff was top notch. The food was awesome...the wine was just so-so. My room was overlooking the lake and the sunsets were outstanding. It would be unfair to rate this... More

The room was outdated and tired (peeling wall paper, cracks in the tub) and really no different then a Best Western (at $379 a night in the off-season) The pool change rooms were dirty, the sauna was gross (old, grimy and dirty) and the hot tub was all chlorine. On a side note the food was great and the staff... More

Been coming to Taboo for over 10 years - way back when it was Muskoka Sands. Over the years that it has been Taboo, we have seen a general decline in services, amenities, staff, and general 'resort-i-ness'. This past visit was disappointing for an number of reasons. Pool Bar - closed so early that one had no time for some... More

We have had two experiences at Taboo Resort: Once in 2010 as hotel guests and once in 2011 in the Boathouse restaurant. Neither one was impressive. The hotel experience was mediocre , especially for the price. It wasn’t awful, nor was it great. Other than the views, there is nothing Muskokan about this hotel. This is really a shame because...

Reservation was done on the phone with a very pleasant lady named Janice. At the time of reservation your resort still had quite a few unbooked 2 bedroom suites and I asked for a good lake view suite. Janice also asked me if I wanted two separate beds in the second bedroom or a queen bed? I specifically insisted that... More

Our dog passed away and we needed a quick getaway. After a very disappointing night in Orillia, we tried to find another place to stay and Taboo was the only hotel we could find that had a room available. To say we were pleasantly surprised would be an understatement! The service and room were great and the view of the... More

Taboo Resort was disappointing over all. The staff were courteous but were formally attired which is not in keeping with Muskoka. The beach was very nice, clean and safe with comfortable lounges. The canoes were well maintained and enjoyable. However the motor boats were grossly over priced. Our room was tired and not as represented on the Internet. The porch... More
