Waterlovers Beach Resort

The hotel is beautiful and special in every detail. From the door nobs in the room to the pool lounge. Good food for small bites as well as dinner. The staff is fantastic, without exception! Always smiling and nice with an incredible attention to making your stay perfect! Special thanks and recognition to Julius, Lilian, Harrison and Abdalla, with outstanding service at the bar and at the restaurant.

Waterlovers Beach Resort is beyond words, and a real paradise. It is more of a smaller "boutique hotel" with only about 10 accommodations (suites, villa & penthouse), which gives a more authentic, calm and peaceful stay; as it almost feels like you have the place for yourself :). The staff is so lovely, kind and service minded and the food is very good. I especially enjoyed the dinners where the staff set the tables on the sand, making it feel like you were eating on the beach (which you kind of were as well). It has its own pool but being situated right by the beach you can reach the ocean with a few steps. The furnishing and decoration of the rooms, as well as the hotel in general, was so beautiful and provides an exotic, luxurious vibe, whilst still keeping the beautiful African details with a lot of local designs and constructions.

Waterlovers is a true piece of paradise. From the moment we arrived to the moment we left we had the most wonderful stay. The staff are AMAZING! They are so friendly & helpful & make you feel special. Whether it is some banter over breakfast or just chatting over a cocktail, they really do make you feel like you are surrounded by friends. The resort itself is beautiful. The rooms are magnificent with wonderful decor and huge bathrooms. The design of the resort makes it feel secluded and peaceful. There is a lovely pool and plenty of sun loungers. The food is also excellent. Breakfast is a wonderful choice of fresh fruits, freshly baked breads and pastries with homemade jams and granola. There is a cooked option too which is fantastic. Lunch and evening menus are also great with a good choice including local fresh ingredients. It was our 25th Wedding Anniversary & the chef made us a cake to celebrate. It was so delicious and we shared it with all the staff as it was huge! Waterlovers is the place you dream of and it really does live up to what you hope it will be. The sand is white, the sun is warm and the Kenyan hospitality just makes everyone feel happy! We had such an idyllic stay & would go back in a heartbeat!

We had a lovely relaxing stay at this hotel recently. We stayed for 4 nights and thoroughly enjoyed it. We stayed in the hippo room and it was beautifully decorated and had everything we needed. The staff were all friendly and this made our stay even better! Abdullah in the bar and Suliman in the restaurant were particularly attentive so a particular thanks to them! The food was lovely and although the menu was small for a short stay it wasn’t an issue. The only thing I would change would be to give free water with the evening meal (like they do at breakfast) as it is a bit strange having to pay for water! Overall it is a beautiful hotel and I would highly recommend it!

Small and quaint, great service, and all the amenities we needed for a few days to relax after safari. Rooms are well appointed, everything is very close as there are only 5 or 6 cottages. Lillian at the bar was always there with a smile, water was beautiful (except for a bit of seaweed which was dissipating by the time we left), and food was great.

We arrived at Waterlovers following a safari and ready to relax.. and what a place to do it. We stayed in the penthouse which was perfect for our family. Lots of space to relax and very comfortable. The food was lovely and the ambience and laid back, low key attentiveness of the staff is wonderful. Nothing was too much trouble and after 6 days we were all very sad to leave, and very sad to put on shoes again! Special thanks to Abdullah on the bar who mixed us some great cocktails and to Grace and her team for keeping our house so clean and tidy. We hope to be back!
