Viola
Wanna Wanna is one of my favorite place to stay at South padre island the rooms are always very clean. They have everything you need . The bar live music and food is the best. Definitely, recommend it.
Mary
Fantastic hotel, location, and staff. We had the best stay!
Angela
Only issue was that the WiFi was out while we were there.
TYSON
Great location, 100 yards from the beach. The bar/grill is a gem! Probably the cheapest meals on the beach, just burgers, fries,and chicken strips but a lot of food for the $. PET FRIENDLY! . $15 a night.
Clean room, friendly staff, and daily towels and sheets.
My only \"complaint\" was we probably had the 2nd worst room on the property (with an ocean view though!)
We booked 6 months in advance with no deposit so they were probably surprised we showed up and we got perfectly adequate room but not the nicest. Will definitely go back but hope we get a bigger room.

Wanna Wanna is an older hotel, but the room was clean and perfect for our needs. It has a great bar/ restaurant where you can watch the waves while you are eating their tasty shrimp plate. You are directly on the beach and can rent chairs and umbrellas which makes it so easy to just relax and enjoy beautiful SPI.
Kristina
It’s a no frills hotel but you can’t beat how close you are to the beach and a piña colada! It’s always clean, just older. And we’ve stayed here many times, the staff is always helpful. Parking is easy too, they have designated hotel parking so you never have to fight for a good spot.
luis
The beds were super uncomfortable and no pool was a bummer for the kiddos.
Annette
This will be our next stay again!

Always a great place to stay, with so much going on to keep you busy. The bar and food are both excellent. Wonderful place e to make your home base from
Lauren
Such a perfect location for a beach getaway! Steps from the beach and having the bar/grill connected is great too. Free Parking onsite was a plus. The room was clean and AC worked super well! Rooms are a little dated but it makes it more homey and added character. Loved the live music too!

Great access to beach and simple and clean rooms. Our housekeeping staff did a great job. It's attached to a bar, it will be noisy until 10pm. Know that going in. Didn't bother us, but we knew. Would stay again for sure.
Tommy
👍
Justin
Perfect location on the beach. Left the room and walked onto the beach. Room pretty clean, a little wear and tear in infrastructure, but still great. Beach grill pretty decent prices for the amount of food.
Barbara
My daughters and I really enjoyed the hotel. It was exactly what we wanted. We could walk out to the beach quickly and easily, grab a drink, hang out at the Wanna Wanna bar patio or walk straight to the beach. The room was clean and the AC worked great. The room had silverware, a kitchen sink, and mini fridge. We wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again. I will definitely recommend to anyone wanting to stay in S. Padre!
Don
We loved this property. Right on the beach. It’s a classic. They still use keys. It’s a small property with a bar restaurant attached. The people were super friendly and helpful. Very roomy. We are older and it was a throwback to when we used to travel. We will definitely be staying there on our next visit.
Pablo
Great property and so close to the beach! Beautiful sunrise steps from hotel room.
Scott
Stayed at the wanna wanna many times ,great staff ,the best bar on the beach by far ,love the place
Mari
Loved our stay at Wanna Wanna. Friendly Staff, Good Service and great Location.
Juan
It was our 1st time at The Wanna Wanna Bar & Grill suite , indefinitely, graciously enjoyed our stay, it was such a great blessing to be and stay at South PadreWanna wanna beach - ( Alejandra ) had a room and was so very nice and as checking out we didn’t want to leave but again will be back for next year July 4, 2027, Alexa was amazing. I went 52 minutes over checkout time rushing out to visit Pastor San Juan. And we’re getting ready at Alexa was so nice. Did not charge me my late rate for anywhere else they would have charged me. I recommend highly recommend Wanna wanna beach to everyone and also we got to enjoy the ceviche the hamburgers and the music was so very awesome. I will never forget the band that played there on Fourth of July July., I pray that that must be out there again for next year. The beach was so awesome and everyone was so friendly and nice. We loved it and again to everyone everything was so clean the room so beautiful the beds were so comfortable. , did not have to leave the property. Also enjoyed the fireworks on the backyard of the hotel just the way it is advertise. Beach is in the backyard., definitely will be out here again next year, and the name of Jesus 🙏🙏🙏 thank you ( Alejandra ) for all your friendliness when I vote Hotel and Alexa as I checked out, y’all are wonderful and amazing.. We love y’all and pray you continue getting business. Y’all are so awesome. I rate The wanna wanna Beach to Bar And Grill Suite way over a 10 -
Michael
What more can you ask... clean rooms, real coffee w/pot in room(i need coffee lol), live music, beach front, I can keep going. We enjoyed the vibe so much we booked for the following week!
Rachel
The property was very clean and well maintained. The food and drinks at the bar were delicious and the quick and easy access to the beach was perfect!
Carmen
I was disappointed that we didn’t have a kitchenette like the description had. The beds were smaller than expected. The location to the beach was perfect.
Tineshia T
I love that it is right on the beach and the bar and restaurant was right outside my door. The room was clean and stocked with everything you need. Love it
Joe
Conveniences, close to anywhere you would like to go

The room was very clean and also had a mini fridge with top freezer. It was very useful to keep my bag of ice for the next outing. It also has a coffee maker with coffee mugs and silverware. Just bring your creamer of choice. I enjoyed my stay at wanna wanna. Thank you!
Erika Saldaña
Prompt check in, clean rooms, plenty of clean linen and friendly staff. Evening bands were so much fun and the bar also 👌😎
Ashley
The staff was very friendly and welcoming.
Jessica
It is very outdated. Rooms smelled stale and beds/ mattresses are hard! The beach is very close. Less than five minutes walk. There was a bandOverall, did not like the room. Very small and outdated.
David
Very clean and comfortable and easy access to the beach
Eddie
Staff was great. Everyone was so kind and helpful. 3 minute walk from the room to the beach. Would definitely stay there again.
Claudia
We enjoyed our stay at the Wanna Wanna Inn. We traveled with dogs and there was no problem getting accommodated. Yes there was a $15 dollar a night pet fee per dog. But you can't get around that. The staff was very friendly and took care of everything. The room was very nice and very clean. It has a window unit for A/C but kept everything nice and cool. A little kitchenette was also available in our room. The only thing the room lacked was a dresser for clothes but there was a clothes rack with hangers.
Our room had beach views from all windows which was nice. Outside of our door to the room were two chairs so we could even hang out on the community patio. The Wanna Wanna Inn does not provide breakfast, so we packed bread and lunchmeats, lunch we usually ate at the bar and grill. Food and drinks are great and reasonably priced. The hotel is located next to a public beach access so you do have A LOT of passing through folk and folk who want to eat and drink at the bar & grill. Parking is available for Hotel guest you just get a placard at check in. There is live music at times, I think depending where your room is it may get a little loud we were at the end and our window unit drowned out the noise from the music. All in all it was a very pleasant stay right on the beach. Unfortunately though the loungers and sun umbrellas are separate and have to be rented by an independent company, which kinda stinks but it is what it is! Thank goodness we had our own chairs and sun shades.

Clean rooms, nice bar and easy access to the beach
Antoinette
Booked on Expedia for a conference at least 3 months in advance. Two days before we were to arrive we got a call canceling our reservation. I was then forced to to find another place. We were away from others in our group.
Pam
Our Happy Place💖
Vanessa
weather was great! location was amazing!
Roberto
Great location, clean room
Greg
The location (100 yards from the water) and the incredibly accomodating and friendly staff are what keeps me coming back year after year. The bar & grill offer some basic fried fare, but there are a dozen restaurants within a short drive if that's not your thing.
Gerardo
Room was clean. Staff was friendly and knowledgeable. I will be returning soon!
Rosalinda
A Gret Place to spend the weekend..
Rosalinda
The Front Clerks Are Amazing very sweet and very helpful.
Craig
The staff did not and would not clean my room since I had dogs. Said they were scared of a 6 month old chihiuaua and a multipoo left if kennels. No clean sheets we slept in sand every night. No clean towels unless I took them to the office myself. Don't think I will choose this again.
Alexandria
The wi-fi wasn't working well in the area we were staying at, which made things a little difficult. Other than that, we were able to check in really early, which was nice, and the room was very clean. Would stay again.
David
I felt rooms were perfectly outfitted, great small fridge, micro, coffee . all ground floor, easy in and out, but realize it is a small friendly hotel with a great beach, great beachbar, hardworking staff, and sand is part of a beach hotel. I will go back again.
rosalva
Who doesn’t love WANNA WANNA? It’s a great place to stay, enjoy the bar and people.
Julie
It was not the Ritz and that's why I liked it. It was just perfect. I loved coming out of my room and just walking down to the beach. Simple. Everyone was really friendly.
michele l
We loved it here. I will say that it is an older hotel. But was very clean. Staff was exceptionally helpful. I did wish for a few more options on the menu at the bar. But they have the best cheesy fries. Very reasonable prices on the room and food.
San juanita
Yes
Adrianne
While this property is fantastic for adults, I felt it was not good for kids. The bar/grill/patio are a great option for adults looking for a weekend getaway. Also, if I had to co.plain, the wifi was too weak to use, again mostly a kid issue, but also, being beachfront, I felt it needed an outside shower area to rinse the sand off your feet before entering the rooms.
Dana
Everything was great! Shoutout to Jesse and Richard at the bar!!
milca
I would stay in this place again.
Pablo
Wanna Wanna never let's me down. The atmosphere, staff, vibe and service is always great. Love your burgers! Pet friendly in hotel and bar area. Right on the beach with available chair/umbrella rentals ($40+)
Daniel
Great experience
Sue Whaley
Really wonderful, stress free on the beach break from life. Thanks, Wanna Wanna!
Anthony
Great little hotel/bar on the beach. The building is older, but has been well maintained. Property is cleaned daily. Breakfast not included, but there is a great burrito place 1 block away.
Steven
Ive been staying here for years when I have big conferences in the area and have always loved this place. The AC is always cold in the rooms, the place is super clean and the beach vibe is definitely there. 10/10 from me.

Rhonda
Room was outdated but clean, right on the beach, they have been updating some areas. Drinks and food right on the beach with live music during the afternoon. I would stay there again as it was perfect for what I wanted
Tiffany
It was a little rocky at check in when we didn’t get a king size bed that was reserved, but the hotel made it right and they were very apologetic. Room is dated, but it was clean and beds were comfy. Restaurant with the hotel was great also. Food and drinks were amazing. Bartenders had great personalities and were fun to chat with. Prices was great and would stay again.
Peter
The staff was amazingly helpful; best customer service we’ve had in a long time. The hotel is old but it was clean and the location is perfect. Only complaint would be the A/C unit didn’t function well. But for sure we’ll be coming back.
Quentin
Lovely facility, very clean, friendily staff, the bar has some nice menu items. Wonderful beach access.
Josh
It was a great spot not a five star. Stay at the hotel but definitely not terrible at all. We had a great time and the beach/bar/staff was all great. We would definitely come back.
Enrique
Ac working perfectly parking was not a hassle and the beach is at your door step, with a nice outdoor lounge and bar. Pretty good vibes here. Staff were also very friendly and explained parking well.
Jeff
No pool but great location. Easy walk to the beach! Staff was very helpful and pleasant.
Thanks!
Thanks!
Stephanie
This was such a great trip. The room was cozy and comfortable. Our dogs were welcomed. The food at the bar and grill was great. The walk to the beach was less than 1 minute from our room. We would definitely stay again!
Christy
I love this place! It’s always a wonderful stay!
Omar
Great staff, great location, restaurant and bar are literally there on property with it's own beach views and access
Sherry
Our go to place when it’s just the husband and I! Everyone is so friendly
Charlene
Right on the beach
Cristina
Very clean, great AC, service and amenities.
Davida
This isn’t a luxury, high-end property, so don’t expect upscale amenities. That said, the hotel is clean, comfortable, and well-equipped with a coffee maker, TV, mini fridge, and toiletries. The beachfront location is a huge advantage. Check-in was smooth, and I was pleasantly surprised that my room was ready even though I arrived two hours early. There’s also a bar and grill on-site with a beach view, didn’t get to try them this time, but I’ve heard great things and will definitely check them out on my next stay. I’d absolutely stay here again.
Kirby
Great atmosphere, close to beach. Good A/C. Clean rooms.
Cindy
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.
Jeanette
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.
Melinda
Extremely clean everywhere on their property. Staff were wonderful. Their drinks and food were delicious. Definitely a place to return to
Gabriela
This hotel does not offer breakfast
jessie
Bar was stocked, excellent variety of drinks. A/C kept the room cold.
Mikayla
Everything was perfect! As soon as you walk off the stairs at the back your immediately on the beach. Super clean rooms and super friendly staff. Will definitely be staying here again!
Pat
Always friendly staff and clean rooms. Thank goodness ou!
kristina
I lived my stay! All the staff that i came across were great. Alejandra at the front desk made us feel very welcome. The bartenders were awesome. The proximity to the beach, you can’t beat.
Becky L
This is an older hotel with restaurant and bar outside and less than 100 yards to the beach.
Rooms were clean and decorated nice. They were big with a small kitchen with coffee pot, cups, plates, dinner wear, etc.

Carissa
Exceptional staff. My husband lost his wallet and someone ended up turning it in for us. He had over $200 cash in it and we for sure thought the cash was gone with the wind, however it all turned out to be there. Come to find out later it was one of the house cleaners that found it outside in the lounge area and turned it in for us. Everyone was very kind and helpful. Love this place. Will be there again for sure!

I think its the best hotel i’ve ever stayed in SPI. Its clean, the AC work amazing, its right near the beach, and the staff were very friendly, they even let us check in a little earlier than expected.
Thank you so much Wanna Wanna, We’ll be back i hope very soon! :)
