I was not disappointed at all. From the closeness to the beach to the broom in the room for the sand, you can tell the hotel cares about the person staying and what they might need. I would definitely stay again.

I very much enjoyed my time in this trip, front desk lady was very helpful & nice. We were able to check in two hours ahead of time which was really convenient considering we were there since 8AM. The Bar & grill were a cherry on top, we didnf have to go far for food & the burgers were really good, especially the fries!! Also their Micheladas are really good & at a really good price. Ambience was great, saturday live music was great!!
Big burger & scrumptious delicious.

I always enjoy staying at Wanna Wanna. The rooms are always clean. The staff is always smiling and willing to help. However, the last 2 times that I have ordered food from the bar, it was subpar. The shrimp was left in the fryer too long and turned a burnt dark brown. The fries were cold. Both times, it was slow enough that I would think the food would be fresh.

We enjoyed our stay as did our daughter, son-in-law, and grandkids. We loved the quaintness, the restaurant, bar and beach. The rooms are sound proof, which is rare these days. Even if the music was playing outside, you didn't hear it in your room. The only upgrade that would make it better would new mattresses and additional pillows. We will definitely be back. Our dog loved it too!
