Its just ok now. We've been coming for several years and its seems like it goes down a notch for us a little more every time we visit. This year we had a leak in our room coming from the neighbors bathroom and the only solution for them on our week long stay was putting towels down. Also, the bathroom absolutely stinks in the room. I dont think there's any amount of clorox or odor killer that would fix the smell. I will never stay in that room again.

WannaWanna was clean cute hotel located right on the beach! It has live music and a bar DIRECTLY outside of your hotel room and the best part is that you can’t even hear it at night! Even for being a hotel room it gives off a very at home vibe. We will ABSOLUTELY be staying again, thank you!!!
