Semiahmoo Resort

This was our second annual family Thanksgiving trip to Semiahmoo, and it was/is always wonderful, even when the weather isn't. The beachfront rooms are so convenient for pups and quick potty breaks. The spa and pool weren't too busy and offered much-needed R&R. Dinner at Packers the first night was perfect, and the portions are enormous! The staff is always so friendly and welcoming. We love this resort and can't wait until our visit next year.

My daughter & I went on a “Girls trip” & we had such a wonderful time!! Our room had a beautiful view of the water & was Cozy & Clean! We enjoyed dinner in their Amazing restaurant, I had the Best Crab Mac & Cheese I have ever tasted!! We also enjoyed walking the beach & enjoying an evening fire. It’s a quick drive to Bellingham for some shopping. We will definitely be back!! We had an amazing trip!

I had the pleasure of staying at Semiahmoo Resort in December, and it was a truly peaceful experience. The highlight was watching the sunset over the water — it was breathtakingly beautiful and incredibly serene. The quiet atmosphere made it easy to relax and unwind.

We have not had a worse experience with our lodging. We frequently have hotels similarly arranged for us as we speak for organizations several times per year. When we arrived on Thursday evening at Semiahmoo we met Randy. Randy helped us get checked in and things started off well. After unloading our luggage we decided to visit the restaurant for dinner. When we reached the restaurant and entered the area where guests wait to be seated, three employees were present and not one of them greeted us. Another Organization Team member happened to be exiting and began conversing with us at which point someone from the restaurant acknowledged our presence. The next occurrence was Friday evening when we were preparing to have our first speaking session and came out of the bedroom area to find a large puddle and dripping water from the ceiling. Engineers arrived promptly and when we left the room they were working to repair the problem. Late that evening after 9 pm when we returned to our room the ceiling began to leak again. This time no one answered the phone at the front desk so we had to go downstairs to address it with the front desk staff. We had to move rooms and were told we would be receiving an upgrade. The room we were moved to was much smaller and had two beds, no fireplace and felt like a downgrade rather than an upgrade. We asked if we could return to the other room while it were repaired and were told they would not allow this and likely wouldn’t have another room for us besides the one we were given. By the time things were finished it was nearly 11:30 pm and we were exhausted and scheduled to be on stage by 9:00 am to speak again. This was not an ideal scenario. The next day (Saturday) we were told another room similar to the one we had was available. We had to speak off and on all day Saturday so we didn’t get moved into this third room until evening Saturday. Again exhausting to have to relocate once more. We slept and were up for speaking again Sunday morning. Sunday after the conference ended we decided we would enjoy a relaxing evening by the fireplace in our room. Only to find a DEAD BIRD inside the fireplace. This was incredibly frustrating, disgusting and ruined any hope that we could provide a positive review of Semiahmoo. In addition to all of this the front desk staff was inattentive unless you showed up at the desk in front of their faces. I called one time and the phone rang for 5 minutes before anyone answered. My husband went downstairs and there was no one in line or at the desk so no apparent busyness keeping them from answering calls. The lack of hospitality along with the numerous unaddressed concerns causes me to leave a zero star for this resort. We hope to never be booked at this location again which is not something I have ever said in all the years we have done what we do.

This is a fun place to visit! There are lots of family activities and the accommodations are great! They offer family games, s’mores by the fire at night, pool, bikes and a variety of activities are always happening!! It’s a great location. The staff is super nice and accommodating. The beach is clean and beautiful! The sunsets are amazing here. Everyone was having a good time relaxing and enjoying themselves. Guests were polite and respectful. The beach bonfires are really warm and inviting. Love the room access to the activities and view! The pillows were not very comfy, very lumpy and squishy. The beds were mostly comfortable, but not the most comfy as they lacked solid back support. This didn’t affect children but did affect the adults in our party. Overall, Great place to stay.
