Relaxing Stay
We have just returned from a 5 night stay at Waterlovers which followed an 8 day safari trip. We knew we would be tired following the safari but didn’t know just how exhausted we’d be. Waterlovers proved to be an amazing restorative remedy. It was everything a luxury, relaxing boutique hotel should be. The room was beautifully prepared and cleaned, the whole site was meticulously tidied and presented each day, the bed felt luxurious, the food beautifully presented and tasted fantastic, great bar for chilling and very comfortable sun beds. But having lauded all of the attributes what really made the stay memorable was the staff. Without doubt they were the best we have ever experienced. Each and everyone of them went out of their way to ensure that every guest had the best possible experience. I really can’t praise them enough - such joyous happy people who were always eager to please. You will not be disappointed if you book this hotel.

Perfect boutique hotel
The employees took care of us from start to finish. We had no worries the entire time we stayed. The rooms were extremely clean, the beach was right there and also very clean. The food was exceptional. Above all the people were so kind and friendly!
Relaxing Beach Time After Safari
Our family of nine spent 4 nights at Waterlovers after our safari. We took the train to Mombasa from Voi and the resort was an easy shuttle ride from the train station (about 65 USD for all of us).
From the moment we arrived, the service was lovely and we were welcomed. The resort is very small and quiet but not too small for our large group. The location felt very safe and secure.
We stayed in the penthouse and the giraffe suite. The accommodations were perfect and we were thrilled with our selection. The penthouse was spacious for our large group with ocean views and a nice balcony overlooking the ocean.
Our suites were tidied everyday with turn down service in the evening. Security set up our beach volleyball net and made sure that the beach boys did not harass us too much (they are persistent). The bartender Abdhallah was excellent, personable and kept us entertained during our vacation.
We selected the half board package with breakfast included and this was the right choice for us. We ate at Tides our first night there and the food was excellent, but we found the portions a little small for the young adults in our party and perhaps not the best value. We purchased beer, wine and some fresh seafood at the local grocery store (walking distance) and were able to cook a meal in the penthouse kitchen the following night. Pizza day at Waterlovers was delicious and good value. The staff sent us away with box lunches on the day of departure as well, which was appreciated.
The resort does not have a fitness center, so we took a tuk tuk (400 KES each way) and paid 500 KES pp for entry. It did the trick but the cardio equipment is a little dated.
The beach was very windy while we were there and we did not go snorkeling or use the kayaks for this reason, but they were available. There was plenty of comfortable beachfront loungers available during our stay and the resort provides beach baskets with towels as well.
We would highly recommend Waterlovers for a relaxing stay after safari or anytime!
Perfect Conclusion to Whirlwind Adventure
The location can’t be beat- it’s around the corner from the Diani airport and the shopping areas, but facing the ocean with its own turtle shaped infinity pool. Amazing!
There are only about 10 cabins so there are never crowds of people and everything feels intimate, from the services to being able to choose your favorite beach beds, to the staff knowing who you are.
The whole place screams “relaxing.” My husband and I visited after over a week on a safari trip and it was the perfect ending to our adventures.
