    Too busy they can’t handle the crowd! We waited to be seated 20 min! then we seated ourselves on a dirty table, Staff were overwhelmed with all the orders, all food orders took for ever! & the waiter came twice to tell us the order was not placed after waiting for almost 1 hour! The food portion is very small, don’t come here if you’re hungry. The staff tried to apologize in rude way! & only got the food when we said we will not pay! The place is really nice specially for photos.

    It was a wonderful experience We had lunch before our time come to take pictures. Our lunch was: - fried salad with Thai sauce 10/10 - shrimp spring rolls 10/10 - Thai tortilla 9/10 - Tom Yum soup 10/10 - shrimp fried rice 8/10 ( small portion) - grilled chicken with Thai noodle 10/10 - Oreo ice cream 8/10 The view was amazing, weather was hot but they put a fan for us Waiting time for picturing was around one hour and half, when we finished our food our turn for photo was ready Photo shoot was fast and professional, we got a lot of perfect pictures and staff well organized and welcoming. I really recommend this place

    The rooms are large and bed was comfortable. There are large amazon lilies and lots of photogenic spots which can only be accessed if one has paid for the activities. The café is picturesque and that is the only good thing about the hotel. There is a rush at the photographic spaces so please keep that in mind. Since there are lots of plants, mosquitoes are widespread so please bring spray repellents. The lily pond at the back has iguanas which was so nice to watch during the early morning. They do not allow outside food and the restaurant closes by 6.40 pm. Also the restaurant food is expensive. So if you want to eat, either have to place order by 6 pm or go outside for food. They promised to give me takeaway breakfast since I have a flight early morning. However, during the morning they refused the takeaway breakfast. I am really disappointed by this. They informed me that they have few guests and so they cannot provide breakfast even though I paid for it. There is nothing special nearby so staying here was the only option for us.

    Regarding the restaurant we went, they got good marketing because there were so many people who go there but the food quality is so so and we had to wait for more than 45 mins just to get the food which we ordered. Until I said to them that the kids got too hungry and started to act up n cried, then the food slowly arrived. We got the food and it tasted so so for me n my friends. The view of lotus pound is nice though. So many people fell into their gimmic of taking pictures of themselves with a drone on a wooden boat and the lotus leaves /flowers next to the boat. They charge more money for it of course but I have seen so many more beautiful lotus in other places but because their marketing was not that good like here then there were much less people so I guess if u want to go for pictures, this place is it. But if u want to go for a very good taste of food and fast service, I think there are other options out there n the price would be lower as well.

    Definitely a place to visit for a beautiful and unique cafe to dine at. It's all outdoor seating facing the lotus pond. Quality of food is good. Can be a tranquil place to chill if not for the countless houseflies flying around our food and drinks.

    Wonderful place to visit and take pictures. The coffee there is really good and so is the foods and snacks. It can be a little crowded. Many tourists come there just to take pictures and leave without ordering so it can be a bit loud and hectic especially when there are many kids.

    Beautiful place, but sadly it's so beautiful it's become Instagram Central. People hogging the pier to take a thousand selfies whilst others stand there watching as they wait their turn to do the same thing. 🤮 Aside from that, the ambience is great, service was attentive despite the busyness, and the food tasted really good too. Keep in mind that due to the popularity of the place, we had to wait about 30 minutes for a table, and this seems to be a common thing because they have a ticketing system for it.

    Wonderful place to take pictures, delicious food for a fair price. There's no entree fee. They can take pictures of you on a boat on the lake with a drone but this will cost you some money. This place is a must to visit!

    (Translated by Google) 🚩 Pin another shop Wow Wow Wow 3 words should be suitable for Phuket landmark shop like @ madoobua.phuket As soon as stepping into the shop, I would have to cry and wow when I saw a beautiful lotus pond. Just say one word that if you come to Phuket you must come. Especially during this period, if anyone gets it, it will be very good because there are very few people. Besides the atmosphere, the food here is delicious, not too cheap, but not too expensive. #Isle life #Phuket food #Lunch #Pad Thai with grilled chicken #Crispy lotus root salad #Rice with Basil, Minced Pork, Squid #Green curry with chicken #Liang leaves fried egg #Bualoy lotus root #Eating and traveling around Phuket Island #honeylifeinphuket #Riding tour around Thailand #honeygoaround #Honey pin (Original) 🚩ปักหมุดอีกร้านนะจ๊ะ Wow Wow Wow 3 คำนี้น่าจะเหมาะกับร้านที่เป็น landmark ของภูเก็ตอย่าง @madoobua.phuket พออย่างก้าวเข้ามาในร้านก็ต้องร้องว้าวเมื่อได้เห็นสระบัวที่สวยงามมากกก บอกคำเดียวเลยว่าถ้ามาภูเก็ตต้องมา โดยเฉพาะช่วงนี้คือถ้าใครได้มาจะดีมากเพราะคนน้อยมากเลยย นอกจากบรรยากาศอาหารที่นี่ก็อร่อยใช้ได้ไม่ถูกแต่ก็ไม่แพงมากจนเกินไป รวมๆ คือดี #ชีวิตติดเกาะ #อาหารภูเก็ต #อาหารเที่ยง #ผัดไทยไก่ย่าง #ยำรากบัวทอดกรอบ #ข้าวราดกระเพราหมูสับปลาหมึก #แกงเขียวหวานไก่ #ไข่ผัดใบเหลียง #บัวลอยรากบัว #ตะเวนกินเที่ยวทั่วเกาะภูเก็ต #honeylifeinphuket #ตะลอนทัวร์เที่ยวทั่วไทย #honeygoaround #น้ำผึ้งปักหมุด

  • 4/5 Tossapon P. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Delicious food and desserts. But the price might be a bit too strong. The shop is not far from the airport. Can stop by and have a meal Before preparing before traveling Unfortunately, at this time, the shop does not provide the service for taking photos on the boats and taking lotus leaves. (Original) อาหารและของหวานรสชาติอร่อย. แต่ราคาอาจแรงมากไปสักหน่อย. ร้านไม่ไกลจากสนามบินมากนัก สามารถแวะมาพักทานข้าว ก่อนเตรียมตัวก่อนเดินทาง. เสียดายตอนนี้ทางร้านงดให้บริการถ่ายรูปในเรือและลงใบบัว.

    The big Lilies pads lake view is amazing, perfect for photogenics and tourists alike, they also have varieties of photo packages for family or group of friends to take stunning photos from bird-eye view with drone. Foods were not as great as it seems, more like per person menus rather than family sharing menus, also the order took quite long to arrive. Some orders arrive wrongly to wrong table. They do have souvenir shop which sells art and crafts, paintings, souvenirs and also quite expensive rattan fashion designer bags. Somehow lunch or tea time (plenty of desserts and drinks options) there will be memorable to spend with your loved ones in such a unique place.

    Second time here and we love the environment. Today we had one of the best service, thanks YO for the hospitality. He speaks good English and very attentive to our needs. Be sure to come early morning to catch the best spots for picture! Very early morning!

    Nice place for a coffee and some photographs in Phuket. Upon entering you are given the option to rent a drone photo on a long boat at the center of the lake. The price for this photo is high and you can instead just walk into the coffee shop (left turn) and take the photos you want by yourself. The coffee shop has a pool with victorian lilies (I believe they were imported from central America that has a similar climate) that make a great view. The food is expensive and the place is more a coffee shop then a restaurant, but it's definitely worth the visit and the slightly overpriced food.

    I really enjoyed the food here, the atmosphere is nice too. The staff was friendly and attentive even though the place was busy. They were attentive and polite. I enjoyed my time there. Great spot for instagram pictures too (if you are into that sort of thing, which…i am).

    Wonderful experience in my life We are here to take photos. When we arrive at the cafe, we can pay for the photo shoot at the main entrance. After payment, staff give me a number and shooting time, and I could wait in the cafe. 500 baht for 1 person, 800 baht for 2 people in the photo, 1,000 baht for 3 people in the photo & more. After entering the cafe, it looked amazing. The waiter arranged a table for us, but the table was facing the wall...... They were very professional and teach you how to post. After the shoot, they asked for my email address and sent all the photos to my Google Drive on the spot.

    The place is very nice for taking photos and videos, the food was normal not very delicious you can eat the same for cheaper price. If you want a drones video and pic it will cost you 1000phat to 1500phat and you have take a reservation because when we come it was fill. Overall if you want to go for pictures and videos it's nice but food is normal

    Nice restaurant with good food. The drink also good. Quite surprised, as we thought this place only for taking pictures. The services was taking quite slow but they tried their best. Many people come dress up for photo shoot.

    Excellent place to take photos for Instagram. Go early and don’t wait until the end of the day because the drone closes and you need to pay to get to the middle of the water to take photos. We missed it and we took in front. Get ready to wait in line for a photo. Worth it though. Gorgeous view.

  • 1/5 Nona E. 5 months ago on Google
    I was with my husband at this lake for our honeymoon trip, and when they took pictures of us in that lake we went home, then the employee sent us the pictures at night and finally! But now I am looking for my photos in the email and find that they have been deleted! I could not keep my photos. They deleted them and this made me feel very bad. I do not recommend going there because there is no guarantee or safety in sending photos! Now I am outside Thailand and I do not know how I can retrieve my photos from them! I paid for it, and these pictures interest me very much because they are a memory of my honeymoon with my husband. I communicated with them a lot via email and the employee replied that he would send them. The response was about a month and a half ago. I sent messages after that and there is no response yet! I will not forgive you for this and I want my pictures with my husband

  • 5/5 Asyikin 4 months ago on Google
    Nice place for pictures. Can be a bit hot, probably the establishment can add more fans. You’d have to purchase something to take photos here, but food prices is still reasonable.

  • 3/5 Bogdan G. 5 months ago on Google
    We went there to take pictures with the lotuses which were really beautiful but the service was lacking. After we got there we were given a queue ticket and were told to wait until our number gets called. We waited about 25 minutes. We we got in about half the tables were empty. We got seated and waited for the menus. After about 5 minutes we decided to go take some photos(still no menus), when we got up to take photos a waiter came and said we have to order something first, we sat back down and got the menus, after 10 more minutes we order and go take some photos. It took them 20 minutes to bring 2 ice coffees. At least we got some good photos.

  • 4/5 P' D. 3 years ago on Google
    Very cool scenery even if it's a tourist trap. The gin and tonic with orange slices was refreshing, and orange americano was just ok. Ended up doing the drone photos which was fun. If you get there early it's not bad. Around noon it got too crowded to do a decent picture. Try it once.

  • 2/5 Tanan S. 3 years ago on Google
    A place to take a photo with Victoria Lotus (BUT you can't stand on it ok! They not alow you to do that. Sorry!). I don't think anyone come here for the food. I think the food is below my standard. The service is bad. They run out of something and they just do another thing for you but not telling you first. When they serving the food, they just put it on table and walk away, didn't tell you what it is or not even look where they puting the plate. And this is on the weekday not weekend or holiday. The location is not on the main road so you not going to find any taxi here. There is almost no sign to tell you that it's here so you need to look for "At Panta Phuket Hotel" or trust the Google Map.
