About Waterlovers Beach Resort
What is the ideal time frame for a perfect beach escape at Waterlovers Beach Resort?
10 September 2024
Diani Beach enjoys warm and sunny weather most of the year, with the best conditions for a beach holiday generally falling between June to August and January to March. May tends to be rainy, so it might be best to avoid that month.
When booking a suite, will I have access to the entire unit or just a floor?
15 October 2024
When reserving a suite, guests will receive either a ground floor or a top floor, but not the entire unit. For those wanting more space, booking two suites and requesting the same unit can be a solution.
