The Semiahmoo Resort is part of the Trademark Collection by Wyndham and is the epitome of a Pacific Northwest resort. It is located on the Semiahmoo Spit and is surrounded by water on three sides. It is at the site of an old Alaska Packers Association cannery and many of the old buildings are incorporated into the resort.
It is a full service resort with a spa, golf course, and luxe amenities. The full service Semiahmoo Marina (not affiliated with the resort) is within walking distance.
I was hosted at the resort during my press trip with Visit Bellingham and Whatcom County.

Accommodations at the Semiahmoo Resort
There are 196 guest rooms and suites at the resort. I stayed in the Water View Patio room which was more like a mini suite with a separate seating area and outdoor patio. Water view rooms I think have the best views. The decor of the room is subtle and doesn’t take away from the beautiful, natural setting of the resort.
For the ultimate pet-friendly, couple getaway book the Point Roberts Suite. This corner suite has walkout access to the beach lawn and views of Semiahmoo Bay as well as a fireplace.
SheBuys Travel Tip: If you book a courtside room, ask for a higher floor for better views.
