Always a great time at Wana Wanna. Front desk lady is wonderful and the cleaning staff is excellent. Food and drinks are good. Beach is just right there and it's $40 to rent an umbrella and 2 chairs for the day. Overall a great place. We stay here every summer.

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.
