Very nice Hotel, beautiful designed room, excellent restaurant & food, very good service & excellent location- ocean view everywhere! Its only few steps to ocean! Its a quiet place for couples or people who would like to be face to face with Ocean. It was no animation when we were there. So its preferably for quiet rest.

A good-choice place to relax fully due to limited guests capacity, which is what we liked. So, no much noise by other tourists.. you feel as if you were at home.. The food is fantastic. Having dinner at the beach, on the white sands, not bothered by anyone around was great. Beautiful premisses. Very kind local personnel. A minibar in... More

Highly recommended. Went with my boyfriend for some R&R. Wonderful. Beautiful setting, well-accommodated rooms, intimate, small hotel that is very well taken care of. Right on the beautiful beach. Fun bars and restaurants in walking distance, or cheap, short taxi ride. The staff was super friendly and managers were very helpful in assisting with day trip plans and meals (and... More

The layout and setting of this resort is brilliant. With the pool overlooking the sea, white powder sand all over and terrific seating areas, this is one of the nicest resorts we have been to. Perfect for those who like small hotels and personalised service.

The owners at Waterlovers, Riccardo and Valentina, should be proud of themselves for creating such a well designed and creative small hotel. There is attention to detail in every little thing. Just with 1 villa and 8 rooms, by the beach, it is a very private and exclusive environment. Food and service are very good. However, recommend to not take... More

Nice hotel, in a very nice beach, where swimming is always possible with high or low tide. The hotel is beautifully designed, and rooms are spacious and pleasant. There is an attention to the details in the decoration not only in the rooms but also the common places. Good to have complimentary wi-fi. However no mini bar/fridge in rooms and... More

So many pluses for this hotel because its a small one. First the food was not served buffet as most hotels in Kenya, they use Table d'hôte menus for lunch and dinner and the food was always fresh and tasty. At breakfast there was variety of cereal, cookies, yogurt etc tea, coffee and bacon, eggs and sausage served on request,... More
