Waterlovers Beach Resort is the most beautiful resort I've ever stayed at. It's a small, intimate resort overlooking a fabulous beach. The rooms are charming, spacious and very clean, with breathtaking views. The pool area and beach with its comfortable loungers are extremely well maintained. Breakfast and meals are delicious. But what makes this resort so exceptional is the kindness and professionalism of the staff. The dining room staff were attentive at every meal, the houskeepers in charge of my room was incredibly kind and professional, and I'd like to give a special mention to Abdhalla in charge of the bar, who is quite simply an exceptional bartender and so passionate about his work. He's extremely kind, funny and welcoming. He makes you feel at home and definitely makes you want to spend time at the bar! He is like the soul of the Waterlovers - Thank you, Abdhalla! I so much loved all of this amazing staff that goes above and beyond to make sure we feel comfortable and happy. It just makes you want to stay there forever !

Beautiful

Such a lovely hotel. Its absolutely beautiful, great pool, bar and staff. Great location near the supermarket, wine shop and some restaurants. Definitely would return.

There were so many beach boys who were really persistent in-front of the hotel which made going for a swim in the sea intimidating. Also some lights of the road leading to the hotel would be good as its dark and scary when walking back and forth from the main road.

Very pleasant!

Breakfast was excellent. They offered fresh fruits, and a variety of other options. The only drawback was the bees. I couldnt enjoy my breakfast with so many bees attacking my food plate.

If they could find a way to control the bees, it would be fantastic.

Very good

So close to a 9 and even a 10!

- The design and layout of the resort is beautiful - The staff are friendly, characterful individuals (the place has some soul) - The breakfast spread was excellent and delicious. Not huge but all very nice. - Afternoon tea was also great with lovely homemade cookies! - very family friendly: sand around the pool area for playing in, nice big shallow end to wade around in. Easter egg hunt and a wee goodbye trinket from the lovely manager Valentina. - nice wee collection of things for big and little people to have fun at the beach with: box of sand toys, kayaks, snorkels, body boards... - beach is beautiful and hassle minimal - other comments about seaweed are ridiculous, unless you like a lifeless Mediterranean.

- Fixed menus for lunch and dinner were very expensive for the quality - we were very happy not to have paid for even half board. Asha, next door, was far superior for both quality and value. A real shame as the breakfast was so good and the resort so lovely. - Beach boy was super lovely and helpful though I was sad to see him raking the beach seaweed (and plastic litter) into piles and burying it under the sand. A problem for another day... - Taxi transfer to Ukunda was EXTORTIONATE - 18usd for a 5-10min drive!! And it arrived half an hour late creating a lot of unnecessary stress. The hotel could offer their own car for less and still make money/make the car pay for itself and it would always be punctual!
