    Kiddies treats such as ice creams / milkshakes was quite costly for an average Papua New Guinean. No bins provided around the resort's vicinity for guests to dispose their rubbish. Only one cup was provided in the room for the guest. I had to request for an additional cup for my child. This was provided upon request. No mini mart/ canteen for guests to purchase additional personal stuff such as toothpaste or crackers/ twisties for a quick snack.

    Meals in the restaurant was great. Pizza menu's were affordable. Pool and gym facilities were good too. The room was very comfortable with a great view.

    Great location, friendly stuff, delicious food but very limited options to explore the region.

    • Standard Double or Twin Room

    Due the current law and order situation as well as post COVID decline of tourism in this region, options of explorations are very limited and super expensive (not as advertised on the homepage)

    We had a lovely stay in the Madang Resort! The garden around the hotel is very clean and you can walk around in the hole complex with a stunning view at the ocean and the little islands. The restaurant was very delicious and we really enjoyed the live music creating a relaxing athmosphere. The stuff was friendly and tried to help us organizing some tours. Due to the actual law and order situation in town everybody was understandable careful. They manage to set up a snorkeling tour. We went to an island and the reef there was so incredible beautiful, although very expensive! All in all we really recommend this hotel if you are in Madang, but hopefully they will offer more tour options and excursions, like they provided in former times (regarding to old prospects).

    The pizzas at the restaurant remain poorly seasoned as ever - they shouldn't be hot, but a bit more spices should be added!

    Having stayed there a number of times within the last 20 years, the location remains as great as ever and it is truly the best in Madang, particularly in regard to ocean views - the premises are awesome. Compared to the last stays at the resort the staff has much improved, is friendly and very forthcoming, most likely due to the new managers! Thank you!

    Location great, service poor!!

    Since the change of management last year, service has much deteriorated. Every 2 months we are spending a weekend, but it is getting worse. The breakfast was never great, it finishes at 9.am (way too early for holiday). When you arrive at 8.30, most of the small buffet is gone and the staff is reluctant to refill. We therefore bring our own food now and prepare breakfast in the room! The rooms have no complimentary water, coffee, sugar anymore. Front-desk-staff is not as friendly as before and the rooms are never ready, when you arrive at the check-in-time, you had agreed upon - we might go somewhere else in the future!

    The location is just great as always!!

    Restaurant was supposed to close at 10pm, I went in at 9:00 they wouldn’t serve me so I ordered pizza. I was told to stay in my room and wait for phone call when it’s ready. No calls came in cause the telephone wire was all broken and disconnected. So after waiting for a while I went down to the restaurant. I was so tired after 6 hours bus ride from Lae to Madang. Otherwise all is good 🙂

    Bit of problem with internet, lack of communication with online transaction and the Frontline office desk. Lack of Communication between staff and Guests. If things does not add regarding bookings or transaction, its better to advise in advance then at the time of departure to avoid inconveniences.

    The Breakfast and location were perfect. The scenario was excellent with fresh air, staff are friendly.

    The buffet dinner. I love how you have to select your own protein spread and have it grilled with veggies and your own choice of sauce. It was lovely, and not to mention the pizza and cheese cake were great!!

    We were checked into the room before the receptionist confirmed it was cleaned - we found the housekeeper cleaning the room. No porter. The tv in my room didnt work. The bed was not a double/king size. It was somehow two beds joined. The iron was faulty. The house keeper didnt clean the balcony for the entire time we were there.

    The staff were helpful. Mainly the restaurant team. Somehow, it appears the hotel is understaffed, mainly in housekeeping

    At this stage, I would not change anything as the current attraction is breathtaking.

    The breakfast was awesome. A variety of meals to choose from and there was buffet, eat all you could and I was impressed. The location of the hotel is perfect, next to the sea and is a tourist attraction.

    Reduced menu (again, assuming, due to the C19 global pandemic effects)

    Location was excellent. The service however was just okay, but I would put this down to the effects of COVID-19 as the apparent reduced staff numbers affected the overall service.
