If you’re visiting Phuket for the famous lily pad photos, Ma Doo Bua is definitely worth checking out. I didn’t stay overnight, but I booked a room so I could get early access to the photoshoot. When I arrived there was already a long line, but the staff were very accommodating and allowed me to go first because of my reservation, which I really appreciated. While waiting, I ordered a few drinks and some food and everything was really good. The atmosphere around the lily pond is beautiful and relaxing, which made the experience even nicer. Even though my visit was short, I had a great experience and the service was excellent.

Really enjoyed our stay here. You are however a little out of the way but on the plus side close to banana beach and naithon beach, bang tao market with taxi rides. Our room was fantastic and really clean and staff were lovely. Ma doo bua is very popular with the influencers which arrive for the photos with the lilly pads. We had a nice advantage of being able to access the area for photos before it opened as we were staying there. The only reason I didn't give five stars was because the pool was in need of some care. Lots of tiles missing and generally needs some rime spend on making that area as nice as the rest of rhe accommodation. Also the safes don't work but they give you a key instead for the safe. Overall we would book again.

The property was nice. It’s not a lot of signs with the name of the property on it. We checked in at midnight and even our uber driver wasn’t sure if we were in the right place. We had a massage and it was awesome. I wish we would’ve had more 😂staff was good and helpful.

Restaurant is only open until 9pm, food was not that good anyway. Breakfast (although lots of food) was not tasty. Beds were rock hard. Staff did not speak english at all and were rude! The only nice thing about this hotel is the lily pads on the pond!

They want you to have clean sheet back as they leave even after you stay 5 day . They charge you 5000 for it . Bugs are everywhere the worst is the mosquito and fly in your room . They don’t help with it . The only reason people stay is the lotus for pictures

It’s a nice concept but interior needs a little upkeep. Full of mozzies so beware. The toilet is very run down n shower water is a little brownish at first. Cars n motorcycles moving sounds loud n clear. Ask to move to interior facing unit, was refused stating that have reservations already, I stayed for 3 nights but didn’t see anyone check in. I will never stay there again. The only bonus is decent breakfast that I paid for

The cafe was pretty however really expensive and was the only option in the area if you didn’t have transport. Lots of influencers posing the entire time so hard to just enjoy the surroundings as the view is always blocked anyway. The bed was rock hard, and the shower was missing part of its base so water just leaked everywhere and flooded the bathroom. The accomodation is actually seperate across the road from the views it shows on the images, and the staff didn’t help or explain accessing the pool or resort facilities as they were locked up with fencing surrounding. This hotel is in the middle of nowhere so really inconvenient if you’re wanting to explore any other areas of Phuket. No gluten free options and a convenience store is over a km walk away for some other options if this concerns you.

Not like the pictures but not bad so many mosquitos and bugs like anywhere else. Stored luggage before check in. I came at 11 am with 3 people I told them were going out to eat when we come back it will be just two people woman kept hounding and carrying on about two people only that was annoying maybe she didn’t understand because of language barrier so I remained nice. But be aware they only allow the amount of people for said room. We did the photoshoot they constantly remind you the time. Man took photos with my eyes closed didn’t accommodate me for them. If you eat at the cafe don’t order until you’re ready to eat there are geckos flys and other things that will be on your way. Hotel has a cash 500 bhat deposit you get back if everything is ok. They physically go out and check the room before you check out. Complimentary water, slippers, bug spray. They’re nice just follow the rules as instructed.
