First of all Thanks to Ricardo and Valentina.....the owners who live in the resort with the guests who established a small eco resort with a great attention to every detail in the room and outside like ipod dock on a piece of wood, waterlovers stickers on the toiletpaper, fresh flowers every day on the towels just to mention a few.........

We stayed at Waterlovers with our children after a week on safari. It is a great place situated on the most beautiful beach. It is very relaxed and comfortable. The food was very good and they did not mind if we varied off the set menu for the day. The lobsters and prawns were huge and delicious! ALL the staff... More

We couldn't ask for more from our stay at Waterlovers and wished we could have stayed longer. All the staff from the cleaners to the owners were very friendly and proactive to the point of mind-reading. The room was beautiful and the pool and lounge area stunning. Only complaints would be that the food could be slightly better and the... More

We must have been at Diani on a bad day bc I didn't have the same experience as the other reviewers. While it wasn't the perfect place, it wasn't the worse either. However, we expected so much more. The property is right on the beach which was nice. Eveything was very well decorated-very french caribean chic. The grounds staff was... More

We stayed at Waterlovers at the end of our trip and it was the perfect accomodation for ending a wonderful holiday. The ressort is situated directly at the beach and decorated with an incredible love for detail. You can tell that the owners realised their vision of the perfect hotel and that's what they achieved: Waterlovers is incredible. Owners, management... More

I've stolen the strap-line from Kenya Airways to describe Waterlovers as they deserve it, whereas Kenya Airways don't! What a beautiful resort - and so welcoming! Valentina and Riccardo are brilliant hosts and made us feel instantly relaxed. The only mild annoyance were the beach boys, who felt they were welcome to join us on a romantic walk along the... More

Still the perfect get away ……. Our memories did not disappoint us and it felt (if possible) even better than the first time last July, a bit like coming home. We travel a lot and like to try different places, but for Waterlovers we made an exception and visited it for the second time. With thanks to Valentina and Riccardo... More

We had a great time here as a family and were wonderfully looked after by Riccardo & Valentina. They helped out with every aspect of planning this trip and made it very special.
