Great beach access but low on comfort.
The staff and service are wonderful. They were friendly and helpful. The room itself was clean and the property is genuinely beach front. The beach front bar and patio were great and I enjoyed the drinks. I rated a three based solely on comfort. The room has a a/c unit on the wall which makes too much noise for me. The keys to the room are physical keys with a plastic key tag like in the old days (cute and retro but inconvenient). The doors to the room require you to pull and twist and wiggle to get in . Parking is very minimal and half of it is open to the public as the hotel is on a beach access point. The front desk closes completely after a certain hour. My tv would not turn off nor could I mute it . It was situated in a way that I couldn’t reach it to attempt to manually turn off so it was on all night.

Great Stay
Very comfortable stay, clean room, and the staff was great. Pet friendly. View of the beach and gulf from the room. Reserved hotel parking and easy access to the beach. Bar staff was great and the food was excellent. Will definitely stay at the Wanna Wanna on our next trip to SPI.

I love this lovely Inn and just thinking of the name Wanna Wanna makes me relax instsnly. The only thing I wish they would do is get new mattresses..and maybe instsll phones in rooms. But regardless..we still ALWAYS, ALWAYS choose the Wanna Wanna over any other hotel on the SPI area..including Port Isabel.

Great right on the beach. Older hotel but clean and friendly staff. Accommodated us leaving earlier to tropical storm and refunded us the last three days of our stay. Clean but beds are quite hard and not very comfortable. Overall very great place to stay

Great location. Good food options. Friendly staff. Way overdue for remodel, but if you are spending all day at the beach, this is great.
