JAZ Elite Aurora Beach

Our 8‑day stay at Jaz Elite Aurora was nothing short of magical. The hotel sits in one of the most picturesque and calming parts of Zanzibar, and every day felt like a breath of fresh air. The staff made our trip unforgettable. Chef Ibrahim deserves special praise, he didn’t just cook for us, he looked after us. He created delicious vegan meals, explained every ingredient, and made sure we always had something exciting to try. His kindness meant a lot. We were also grateful for the check‑ins from Deputy Manager Ibrahim and Hardik, who made sure everything was perfect. One suggestion for management: many vegetarian dishes could easily be made vegan with simple swaps like coconut milk instead of dairy, or olive oil instead of butter. This would make a big difference for plant‑based guests. Further, There are so many wonderful people working here, and we want to recognise: • Frank -Main Restaurant • Jonas-Main Restaurant • Christina-24hr Bar • Edward- 24 Hour Bar • Magdenela-Main Restaurant • Abdallah-Pier Bar • Halima-Main Restaurant • Loveness-Main Restaurant Each of them contributed to the warmth we felt throughout our stay. Our swim‑up room with partial sea view was peaceful, beautifully kept, and ideal for relaxing throughout our stay. The Maasai tribe people are a great touch for authenticity of the region. We left feeling refreshed, appreciated, and already excited to return. Thank you so much for a wonderful stay.

Beautiful location and landscapes although slightly isolated due to lack of infrastructure on the island. Staff from every department always went above and beyond to make sure we had the best stay possible. Food was excellent and had a lot of variety but had some difficulty booking the à la carte restaurants. Good amount of beds set across 3 pools so you don’t need to rush to reserve them. Hotel was always cleaned to a very high standard. Hakuna matata

We spent 4 days at Jazz elite Aurora , the resort is new, I think around 1 yr old , but Already looking tired in quite a few places … The service was definitely not 5 star , the food at the buffet was not up to the standard of a 5 star resort .. The hotel is situated on the east side of Zanzibar so it has huge tide fluctuations, when the tide is low it’s around 1.2 km away for a couple of hours a day and has a smell, which I think comes from the sea grass … We didn’t swim in the sea …At high tide .. The sunset area which is over the water is lovely , and has 2 good restaurants, we managed to go to Semaki ( seafood ) which was good! The Tepenyaki restaurant we were not able to get in , as it’s small .. but I do believe it’s also good .. it’s tricky getting bookings at the various restaurants, as they don’t open every night.. The accomodation wasn't our best we have experienced , tv had no option to connect to Netflix and then it stopped working altogether , the kettle plug did not fit in socket … which we notified front desk numerous times . Eventually it was fixed after 3 days . Bathrooms - we found it very strange to find a wooden ledge inside the showers which are not looking great as they get water on them 247 , and the bathroom has a single vanity which is made all of wood , and is already looking tired…

We had a wonderfull stay at Jaz Elite Aurora. The staff are really friendly and always ready to give you the luxury treatment. We also enjoyed the various activities with the animation team. The room was clean and we had beautifull vieuw on the sea. Also the food was very delicous and had much variety every day. We would definetly return to the hotel on our next holiday.
