Jais Aben Resort is in my opinion the best place in Madang for the perfect holiday feeling! The only resort in Madang with a direct access to the beach. Superclean water with corals and beautiful colored fishes, snorcheling is possible directly from the beach, total relax, a small but very nice hotel bar, good kitchen and the best staff and... More

View were perfect & it was great to walk around the resort & just soak up the serenity. The bar was small but had great views & being able to go snorkeling out the front of the report anytime you want was an added bonus. Not to mention the quality of the snorkeling considering it was so close & accessible.... More

Our family, including two primary school children and a toddler, stayed at Jais Aben last year. It was wonderful!. It was like 'stepping back in time'. The location is magical!, with plenty of activities...the beach, snorkeling, fishing, or just reading a book.The self contained bungalows made it an inexpensive holiday... Although in the evening I wore a track to the... More

I was actually staying at the Madang Resort, but was instantly jealous when I set foot on this resort's grounds! The setting was beautiful and pristine. The family and I was snorkeling with fish, tourists and locals alike splashing around. It was great fun. We hung out at the little beach bar and ate some subpar burgers they were serving.... More

This was my first trip to PNG and I am fascinated by its beauty and diversity, both in cultural and natural aspects. The resort is located 20 km from the provincial capital of Madang. At the check-in, the first impression is the view through the restaurant out at the sea. Right in front of the resort, only meters from the... More

I have stayed at Jais Aben on several occasions and was very pleased with their services each time. They doen't cost much and there may not be a better place to relax. The management has changed this last year and the resort has subsequently improved a lot. The atmosphere is so relaxed as always, and they had service that I... More

A total rip-off. Everything was expensive for what it was, and the service was shocking although it's in an incredible, pristine location.

Our tour group of 15 stayed here for only one night. Our room (#10) was large, with 2 double beds and an outdoor screened porch. Others in our group had troubles with their air conditioners, etc., but ours worked perfectly and we slept comfortably. On the "minus" side was the food in the restaurant. I'm vegetarian and ordered the veggie... More

First of all, the facilities are fine, and the setting is great. But, service, management, and food have greatly gone down hill since my first stay in 2007. The first time we went, the new Canadian Management had not arrived. It was wonderful. The food was decent to good. The employees were happy. The Beach Bar area was lively as... More
