Helwas Beach Resort

Very friendly staff Great location Great breakfast

Double check the bills before signing. Staff is obviously instructed to not give recommendations outside of the hotel (food, transport etc)

This is a very nice place, staffed by very nice people. It's well-maintained, clean, and the pool area is a great addition. It also offers an excellent breakfast. The breakfast consists of fresh fruit, and then your choice of mains. After a month in Africa it was so nice to have eggs that aren't overcooked.

It would be nice to have wifi in the rooms, but the wifi in the bar worked great and it was actually kind of nice to get my work done sitting at an outdoor bar facing the ocean.

Beautiful, small property in a quiet part of Bwejuu but within walking distance to Paje. The room we stayed in was stunning, overlooking the beach. The adjoining restaurant/bar was also very handy, and Mini the cat was very cute and playful.

Terribly minor things like needing a new code for the wifi every two hours was a little frustrating.

Beautiful setting right on the beachfront. Rooms are nice. Comfy beds. Good AC. Showers have hot water with good water pressure. Food was good - we weren’t blown away by the curry or the clam pasta, but desert was delicious. Waitresses were really friendly.

No wifi in the rooms - this was made worse by the (patronising) excuse that we should “be present” instead of on our phones - not helpful when one of our group had to then go to a room in a different hotel to have a private work call which would not have been suitable in a public area. Laundry fees are incredibly expensive; again, we had to go somewhere else for this. Breakfast is not at all worth the $12 - I had a small bland omelet and small plate of fruit. We have had far better breakfasts in other hotels in Tanzania. The mosquito nets have multiple large holes. No toiletries in the room other than hand soap.
