This place is paradise - so glad we chose to stay
This place is sheer bliss! If you are thinking of booking just do it! We were lucky to have a full week here following a safari. There are 3 things that are very special about Waterlovers… 1. the location is stunning, right on the beach it feels like paradise: 2. the staff, they are so welcoming, attentive and friendly- we have to mention particularly Anthony and Siassi in the dining room, and Abdullah and Timo who kept the cocktails coming at the beach bar and were such great fun; 3. the attention to detail in the rooms and the decor, hand carved items everywhere and we were able to purchase the cute sugar bowl and bottle toppers to bring home. The rooms are beautiful- we stayed in Elephant cottage, it had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The food was very nice and, while there is plenty of choice on the menu for a few days, we did suggest maybe an additional ‘dish of the day’ would be a welcome addition. We had no issues with insects or cleanliness - our Housekeeper Helen looked after our room very well. We enjoyed the pool and the layout of the rooms among the palms and trees was idyllic. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it and hope we get to go back some day.

Incredible location and decor, cleanliness issues.
What a phenomenal location with the most stunning design and decor we'd seen on our whole trip. Friendly welcome, lovely service and we adored the unique touches in the room. The hotel does however have an issue with insects in a way that is much better managed at other resorts we stayed at. Of course in this area there will be insects present and numerous, but breakfast buffet was crawling with hundreds of ant and wasps within minutes of being laid out each day. Other hotels had solved for this issue well, with closed cabinets and other deterrents. Our room was also teeming with ants our whole stay, despite daily reassurances from housekeeping that they would resolve the problem. I'm not sure of the cause, but ants covered the towels, the bed sheets, the walls and the sinks - so perhaps some of the laundry products used. Staff were apologetic, but not very proactive in dealing with this. Some of our swimwear was also ruined by stains from leaning against the edge of the pool. Pool appeared to be being cleaned daily, but seemed to require a deep clean to remove green slime.

Best place on earth
Waterlovers is absolutely gorgeous. You feel like you have paradise all to yourself. The scenery is breathtaking. The food was spectacular. And the service was terrific. Waterlovers, as of now, is perhaps my favorite place on earth. The only suggestion I would make is to get a little more fresh air circulated in the rooms, and to make sure the face towel given to guests upon arrival smells fresh and clean.

Property was spotless and our accommodation was charming. The staff was friendly, courteous and helpful. The property is on the beach, so access is a few steps from your room. The beach and ocean are amazing! There is a/c in the room but, because of the woven roof, does not cool the room. We asked for a fan which did the trick. Stay here for a calming and well appointed vacation. Just say ‘no’ if you do not want to engage with people on the beach selling items or offering sea life tours.
