Waterlovers Beach Resort

I stayed at Waterlovers in Diani from March 21st - March 25th. This was my first boutique hotel experience and I loved the space, crowd and the ambiance - it was the perfect environment to unwind without having to deal with any noise disruptions. The food was just incredible! Every meal was a treat, and those grilled prawns were just out of this world! But what really made the stay special was the people. The staff were not only amazing at their jobs but also genuinely friendly and happy. It felt like they were part of the reason why the atmosphere was so relaxed and welcoming - they went above and beyond to ensure everyone had a great time. Kudos to the management - the manager was always around, making sure everything ran smoothly and that guests were happy. His attention to detail and dedication was impressive. Water lovers honestly exceeded all my expectations and I will definitely be back!! The food, the staff, the gorgeous sea views from my room every morning and the moon rising in the evening, the management, everything was just on point! I truly cannot l recommend it enough to anyone looking for a fantastic getaway in Diani! You will not be disappointed!!

A perfect ending to a two-week trip to Kenya after safari in Masai Mara. I can only give my very best recommendations to this little boutique hotel located right on the beach. Very nice staff, really good food, excellent rooms and the location of the hotel is really good.

We are a family with three kids between 18-23 that stayed at Waterlovers for a whole week. We had the most marvelous week! Waterlovers is a really small and private hotel. The staff knew our names already the first day and they took so much care of us! The hotel is really cute and nice and the location is just the best....AT the beach! We got a lot of help in booking nice trips for scuba diving, kite surfing etc so for us it was only to relax! I can highly recommend this place!

The resort location is great. Good beach.Great staff,very helpful and very friendly.Food at dinner was great however let down by limited choice at breakfast. We had a great dinner one night on their platform which felt very special.Though you have to reserve that in advance.No mention of it is made when you arrive at the hotel.We only found out when we asked after seeing a few guests dining the night we arrived. We had a lovely swing lounger however you have to make sure you reserve it as soon as you get down for breakfast otherwise gone.The resort does have 2 other bailnese style loungers which again need to be reserved as soon as possible. We were pleasantly surprised to get afternoon tea at 4pm and biting at 6pm. A lovely touch to half board or bed and breakfast. Lots of positives however the reason for the 4 is the room which is marketed as a "suite" but it is not a true suite as you would expect in normal hotels which we have stayed in our travels.Its an average hotel room modelled on a rustic swahili theme. There is a double and a single bed in a small room making it even more difficult to move around.Luckily if there is 2 people in the room.The single bed is used for your stuff and gives you space.The four poster swahili bed very high for short people.So anyone petite be prepared to jump onto the bed.😀 No TV or no fridge in the room.You get 2 bottles of water free a day though can't chill them. However we did ask for a fridge and were provided with one.A welcome relief in the hot temperatures of 35C and above. The hotel markets itselfs as Eco/sustainability resort but the rooms are not sealed,louvres, light through the door let hot air in despite running the AC all day.The room never reaches 18C. The hotel definitely needs to review this situation if it wants to be ECO credible. Overall it is overpriced for the quality of room you get but it is made up by the staff and location.
