Semiahmoo Resort

Before arriving we were told there were issues with our room and that we would be moved to a suite with a $100 dining credit. So I made a dinner reservation at the onsite restaurant. However, when we arrived the person at check in had no information about the room change or the dining credit. Seems like someone should have told me that the dining credit was taken away. I checked in at 6pm and the reservation was for 6:45pm. Too late to change plans. I never would have went to that restaurant without the dining credit. The reviews weren't good. We had horrible service and below average food. Bummer. Then to top it off the power went out at the resort. We showered in the dark the morning we left. We had a flight to catch so I had to leave with wet hair. When we left the keys at the front desk, the person didn't apologize or offer any kind of credit for not having electricity. The person literally said nothing to us when we handed over the key card and left.

I was married at Semiahmoo 30 years ago… our wedding was spectacular and stunning. This place is always been special to me and my husband. We visited to celebrate our 30th anniversary this weekend and I have to say I was heartbroken to see the state of the resort. On the outside paint was chipped and peeling windows were obviously failing, screens were broken gardens were unattended. There were weeds everywhere and considering this was probably the opening weekend of the summer no special attention had been made, much less a minimum level of care. Our room had obviously undergone a Janky remodel with what look like furniture from IKEA that didn’t match the motif of the Rich wood doors, paneling and bed. I’m not sure who designed the remodel but clearly it was done with dorm quality accessories on a budget with lamps purchased from what look like bed Bath & beyond. While it was comfortable, I have stayed in nicer low budget hotels hotel rooms that cost way less than the $400+ per night. That being said location is everything and the beach and the views continue to be unbelievable and special. That is the only redeeming redeeming quality of Semiahmoo right now. Plus, we got to have our dog but so did other people and there was a dog that was clearly locked in its room alone that started yapping at about 630 this morning and continued for hours. I plead with the owners to find the funds or investors that will bring this beautiful amazing property back to its former glory.

This hotel was wonderful! The area is secluded, safe and quiet. It’s stunning and beautiful. The staff were all very helpful and kind. We had a great time beach combing and exploring. The location is perfect and the views are amazing. The room was very clean and very spacious. There were comfortable chairs next to the window and we enjoyed watching the seals and birds in the mornings. I think the value was really great for all the amenities and the location. We had a wonderful time at Semiahmoo for the first time and can’t wait to go back.

We (family of two adults and 2 children) visited on a March weekend, which is the off season. The Packers restaurant wasn’t open, so we ate at the Seaview Cafe, although you could go to the nearby Great Blue Heron Grill restaurant at the golf course. The cafe food was decent, and fine for breakfast, but we would have preferred a different feel for dinner. We stayed in a premium water view room with balcony, which was refurbished recently enough, and not too small for a short stay. The views were great. The beds were comfortable, although I am not a fan of such soft pillows. We enjoyed the pool, free bikes, and evening fire pits with complimentary smores. Fun to walk along the beach and see the beautiful sunsets. Overall a relaxing and fun stay. We wish there were more suite options with proper separate bedrooms, and a different feel for evening dining given all meals were in the same cafe with same all day menu.

I had a wonderful overnight stay here with my sister for her 50th birthday. From the moment we arrived we were made to feel very welcome and that nothing was too much trouble. The room was phenomenal with very comfortable beds and a lovely balcony overlooking the sea. The spa facilities were immaculate and the Himalayan salt massages were extremely relaxing. Our massage therapists were both very, very friendly and extremely good at what they do. We enjoyed the halibut sandwiches at the café and lovely coffees in the morning with pastries. Every staff member that we encountered was extremely helpful, welcoming and friendly, and we look forward to returning again
