Just returned from 3 nights (August 27th - 29th) at the Wanna Wanna Inn and traveled with 3 other female family members - all aged 40's - 60's. The Wanna Wanna is a complete dive in the most wonderful sense of the word! If you are looking for a basic place to sleep and shower on the beach for a... more

For all the hype about this being a great "on the beach" place, they forget to mention that you may have NO place to park - except maybe a 1/2 mile away - and everyone there is all OK with this. I arrived Sunday, Aug 16th, 2009 and the closest place to park was .5 mile away. When I asked... more

This was one of the worst experiences I have ever had. Their website offers picturs which the room did not even look like. We had the deluxe king. They supposedly had just remodled. Wrong. There were roaches in the shower as well as in the room. Bed was sagging and you could hear the guest in the room beside us... more

Read all the reviews I could find before booking. Narrowed it down to Wanna Wanna or La Quinta...chose WW for the outside bar/grill and I made the right choice! the rooms are not luxury, but very clean, we drove from Dallas, & brought 2 cases of water ,so the fridge came in handy. We spent all our time on the... more

Love this place! Comfortable rooms - not fancy - laid back. Location couldn't be better! Fantastic bar, staff, restaurant! Housekeeping staff friendly & efficient. Wonderful weekend live music/entertainment. I work at a resort myself and applaud the competence and calm efficiency with which the somewhat limited staff of this very popular spot handled everything that came their way! Doubt we'll... more

The Wanna Wanna Inn had just had a facelift when we stayed there last fall. we got it on the cheap - $75/night because we were there during the winter. It was a bargain all the way around (I am a view freak but also a tightwad, so anytime I can get a view with a deal, I am thrilled).... more

We stayed for a week at the Wanna Wanna and had a very enjoyable stay. The room was clean and comfortable. The bar is right on the beach so that worked really well for us. I just want to say that when we left they changed all the beding including the bed spread. It is not a 5 star hotel... more

I loved our stay here. We were in the section across the little non-busy two lane road. We actually enjoyed this more than being part of the crowded portion on the beach. The portion across the street has a patio or huge balacony you share with the other 3 rooms (we had the big balcony). It was so nice to... more

Yea, the room is clean and the bed is comfy. However, in the shower it's either feast or famine. You either scald yourself or you freeze to death. The blow dryer doesn't work. The remote doesn't work. And now, the Cable is out. So what do you do? Go to the bar and get drunk and watch the game on... more

This was my first time to south padre island so I used Hotels.com as a guide of where to stay. I should of payed attention to the review. Most were poor. First off, the desk staff requires you to pay in full for your room before you even see it. BIG MISTAKE. The rooms are old , very musty, noted... more
