Wakulla Suites began as the Wakulla Apartments, until they were sold to the Mishler family in 1972 and converted to a motel. The name is Native American, but the decor is Polynesian, including an 8' tiki shower by the pool. Tikis can also be found at the reception desk, and there is a tropical garden.
Westgate bought the hotel and remodeled it in 2018. Westgate added more tiki decor and a lazy river in the pool area. There is now a poolside Tiki Bar for hotel guests only. The bar serves fairly strong drinks and has two mugs for sale, a plastic tiki mug with the hotel name on the back and the other mug is a hollowed out coconut.
This property is currently under renovation and will be the Westgate Cocoa Beach Resort later in summer 2018 (staff told me July 4th but given the state of renovation that seems unlikely). There will be a lazy river running through the middle of the property and also a (Florida style) tiki bar in the courtyard as well.
Definitely not a fancy place, and the tikis are the exaggerated Florida style. But still may be fun if you’re looking for a suite style room.
