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. More

On arrival i was greeted by the management which was one of the most respectful and buisness like things i have ever seen at a resort. the resort itself is in better shape since the new managers...

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

As two young women meeting with an NGO on the premises, we ponied up for 2 nights at Jais Aben and left after one. We had 90 minutes between meetings for dinner, ordered a simple dinner and were told after 60 minutes that the chef had not received our order and after another 15 minutes that he had used the...

I have travelled and stayed at Jais Aben many times over the last 17 years. It was very rundown years ago but slowly but surely the incoming owner has completely improved the place - there are now airconditioned rooms with balconies that are less than 10 metres from the crystal clear sea, the beach bar has been completely renovated as...

I travelled here with my husband and was completely taken away with the beautiful scenery, exotic birds, palm trees, and the lush green surrounding us. The management were so helpful and the staff were excellent. The food was wonderful and everybody was very helpful. The only part that we hated was having to leave!!! I would recommend this to anybody... More
