I was there as part of a business conference for a few days. The rooms were modern and well furnished. The restaurants were very good. But did they close the pools and spa ?????????? I can understand if they're doing renovations at the spa but the pools looked completely functional and they're closed! More

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The room was outdated and tired (peeling wall paper, cracks in the tub) and really no different then a Best Western (at $379 a night in the off-season) The pool change rooms were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
