“すべてにおいてパーフェクト！海辺の楽園”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 April 2012

イースター休暇というクリスマスに次いで混む時期に偶然予約が取れたので友人と２泊してきました。Trip Advisorでの評価がすごく良いので期待して行きましたが、期待以上の良さ！部屋はお洒落な上に細々と気の利いた小物（iPod用ステレオ、ビーチに持って行く用のカゴバッグ＆タオルetc）や造り（２階の部屋なので、階段途中水着とか干すバー、階段下には足元の砂を落とす水ため）があって快適そのもの。８部屋＋グループ用のコテージがあるだけなので、大人だけでゆっくり過ごすには最適。イタリア人がオーナーだけあって食事も美味しかった。コストパフォーマンスが良過ぎて、リピーターになりそう！ I stayed here for 2 nights with friends during Easter Holiday. My expectation was quite high since this hotel has got good rate on this site but the quality of this hotel is moch more than I expected! Good amenities gudgets (iPod stand, beach bag&towel etc) are equipped at the room and the decoration of the room is... More

What a hidden gem!! This was an exceptionally magnificent three days. I wish I could have stayed longer. From the first second we arrived into the gates of the property, we were met with two large glasses of the freshest papaya and orange guice imaginable. From there we were shown into our spacious villa with a large bed and enormous... More

“Very relaxed resort. Good for kids!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 April 2012

I can recommend the place for a nice and relaxed beach holiday. The rooms are spacious, clean, with large windows. They put sand in between the huts and the open plan restaurant which gives you a nice beach experience. The food is great and they prepare whatever you ask for for your child! (In an exceptional quality - I rarely... More

A friend and I stayed at Water Lovers in March, 4 nights to wind down after 8 days of early starts on safari. The resort is 10 minutes from the tiny airport and just so easy to get to, we flew in direct to from the Maasai Mara (no faffing about going via Nairobi's domestic Wilson airport).

My boyfriend and I stayed at the Waterlovers for 5 days and we can only approve the comments of our predecessors. Our room was big, lovely and comfortable with a lot of very nice decorations, wooden furniture and a gigantic bed. The bathroom was very spacious too, with two clay sinks and modern instruments. The whole resort was perfectly clean... More

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.

“Phenomenal service, amazing location and stunning room”

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.
