마당 리조트(Madang Resort)

Booked deluxe room, is a noise hell. There's a conference taking place right now and the hotel parking lot is packed with SUVs. The Deluxe Rooms are located opposite the reception around the car park. On average every ten minutes the extremely loud alarm system of one of the cars goes off, either from the driver's remote control or from birds, I have no idea. This goes on all day and until late in the evening, sometimes at night too. Sleep is a problem even with ear plugs. I intervene on the first day and want another room further away from the parking lot. Reception is reluctant, at first I was promised a smaller bungalow by the sea (rocky shore, no beach), but then the receptionist in the afternoon wanted a high surcharge. This goes on for three days. I was always promised a conversation with management but it never happened. On the last day I meet the managers by chance at breakfast: a German couple. Their office would be right next to the reception, they would have looked for me too, I would have been given another room. I just don't believe that because I was easy to find and all the receptionists said that the managers weren't available. There are supposed to be three restaurants, but only one is open outdoors because an earthquake caused some damage, including in the large pool. Nobody knows why the small pool next to it full of water, clean and attractive, is not allowed to be used. There is no room service, and I'm not allowed to take my food to my room, which means I have to eat outside in the evening, surrounded by crowds of people and mosquitoes. The food is bad anyway for such an expensive hotel, basically junk food. Seasoning is unknown. Service is zero, except for the laundry, which works quickly and well.

The room was a beautiful pavillon in a paradise-like garden along the seaside. The people there were very welcoming. One of the most perfect places we found in PNG. I would love to come back again once! Our guide in Madang, Thomas Dedman, is a perfect host and an unforgettable gentleman.

Stayed for work. Would stay again next time for sure. Pros: Waterfront room was amazing, incredible views. Aircon worked well. Bed was clean and comfy. Reliable hot water. 24 hour gated security. Restaurant was clean, with a decent range of food on offer. Resort pool was amazing. Cons: The gym is dilapidated and most of the equipment broken. Wifi required a topup every 100mb which was a bit cumbersome.

Great staff, great good and Drinks. Unfortunately No beach and WiFi Just for a couple of hours. But in total a really good stay 👍👍

The views over the water, the islands, the ocean are amazing.... paradise. The resort is showing its age. But the grounds, the plants, the statues, wildlife (birds) are amazing. It is a laid-back location. The staff are amazing, friendly, welcoming, as are all the people of PNG I have met on this trip. Just do not expect a western city botel experience. For a somewhat remote city (Madang), this is a great experience.

The view to the neighbouring island (Karanget) was spectacular. Location of the resort is walking distance to madang town and is convinient.

It was my first time to visit Madang Province and stay at MRH,I loved the surroundings, the gardens were so green and beautiful, most of the facilities remained and gave the classic vintage looks. The restaurant service was so good, I love the Pitpit Mornay and the steaks. Being from the Music Industry and someone that appreciates how people take care of vintage musical instruments, I had the opportunity to try out the Yamaha Disklavier Upright Piano at the Haus Kibung and the Alex Steinbach Grand Piano at the Haun Win. Please maintain and look after them. Can't say much though, Keep up Late Sir Barter's legacy always. Thank you.

Great facilities. Nice location in Madang town. Friendly staff. However when booking via ******* I was told there would be a free air port shuttle. Upon checking out I was made to pay for said shuttle. :) Around 10 USD.

We enjoyed our stay at the Madang Resort. The staff was friendly and helpful, the room was very comfortable, and the water views and swimming pool were delightful. The dive shop also had helpful, professional staff and the snorkeling and diving was excellent. We would gladly stay again.
