Escape to Paradise: Yes Hotel Taitung - Your Unforgettable Taiwan Getaway

Escape to Paradise: Yes Hotel Taitung - Your Unforgettable Taiwan Getaway
Okay, buckle up, buttercups, because we're diving headfirst into a review of Escape to Paradise: Yes Hotel Taitung – and trust me, it’s a wild ride. Forget those perfectly polished travel blog posts, we're going for real here. And by "real," I mean the kind of review that involves spilled coffee, a moment of existential dread in a sauna, and a truly unforgettable encounter with a particularly persistent Taichung mosquito. (Spoiler alert: the mosquito won.)
First Impressions: Can You Get Here? (Accessibility, and Not Just Physically)
Right off the bat, the accessibility gets a thumbs up. The Yes Hotel, thankfully, is in a pretty good location, or that’s what the map said at least. I’m talking about actual accessibility, too. Wheelchair accessible pathways seemed legit (though I didn't need them directly, I did see what could become a problem.) Elevators? Check. Crucial because nobody wants to lug suitcases in Taiwan's famous humidity. The airport transfer was a godsend – especially after that long-haul flight. Seriously, after you've spent 14 hours in a metal tube breathing recycled air, the thought of navigating public transport is enough to send you packing back home.
The Room: Paradise, or Just a Really Nice Hotel Room?
Okay, the rooms. They're…nice. Think clean lines, all the usual suspects: air conditioning (essential!), a safe box (always a plus, for those important documents or the emergency stash of chocolate), and the beloved free Wi-Fi. Let's be honest, the free Wi-Fi in all rooms! is a deal breaker for me. Can you imagine actually paying for internet in 2024? The internet access – wireless was reliable, and I'm pretty sure I saw a way to use internet [LAN] if you're old-school like that. The blackout curtains were AMAZING. I slept like a log… until the ahem incident involving the Taichung mosquito. More on that later.
Things That Made My Jaw Drop (in a Good Way)
- The Pool with a View: Okay, this deserves its own paragraph. Seriously. The swimming pool [outdoor] is… spectacular. Perched overlooking… something beautiful, it's ideal for a sunset swim. I spent a solid two hours just floating, staring at the clouds, and feeling all my stress melt away. Pure bliss.
- The Spa/Sauna/Steamroom Trifecta: I am a huge sucker for spas. The Spa, Sauna, and Steamroom were all top-notch, I’m not gonna lie, I spent a good chunk of an afternoon there. I attempted the body scrub one day, felt like a new person, and then the next day gave the foot bath a try. It's an assault on the senses, in a good way, and perfect for that moment in the morning where you look like a zombie.
- The Breakfast Buffet: Now, I'm not usually a buffet person. I find them inherently chaotic and a breeding ground for food-related anxiety. But the breakfast, breakfast [buffet], was… surprisingly good. There was an Asian breakfast spread, a more familiar Western breakfast option, and everything in between. The coffee/tea in restaurant was decent too, which, let’s be honest, is essential for human function.
Dining, Drinking, and Snacking – Because, Taiwan!
The hotel restaurant, as one would expect, had a wide variety of options. I’ll admit, I didn't explore the Asian cuisine in restaurant as much as I should have (my comfort zone is firmly rooted in the Western diet), but I did sample a few things, and it was all quite delicious. I found out they had a Vegetarian restaurant, which is a great option for those following a strict diet. There was a Poolside bar, which was perfect for cocktails after a swim. I also loved the Snack bar – perfect for grabbing a quick bite before heading to the gym. The coffee shop was amazing. The Room service [24-hour] option was perfect for those times when I was feeling especially lazy (which, let's be real, was most of the time).
Services and Convieniences – The Fine Print That Matters
The Yes Hotel thought of everything. Contactless check-in/out? Check. Daily housekeeping? Check. Concierge? Check. The laundry service was a lifesaver! The currency exchange was convenient, the gift/souvenir shop was a great place to pick up some gifts! The luggage storage was super helpful for that last day! I did appreciate that the elevator to get to my room.
Cleanliness and Safety – Because, 2024
Let's get one thing straight: in this day and age, cleanliness is paramount. I was relieved to see that the hotel took this seriously. The daily disinfection in common areas and room sanitization between stays instilled a sense of relief. They had the Hand sanitizer, there were individually-wrapped food options, and the staff clearly knew their stuff about hygiene. I'm all about the Anti-viral cleaning products. This hotel is doing a great job.
Stuff for the Kids and Couple’s Rooms
While not relevant to me personally (I'm a lone wolf traveler, baby!), I did notice the Family/child friendly environment. They offered Babysitting service and Kids facilities so the parents can actually relax.
The Little Quirks & the "Meh" Moments
- The Gym/fitness: Okay, the Fitness center was… functional. It had the basics, and it served its purpose.
- The Mosquito Incident: Back to the Taichung mosquito. This tiny, winged fiend decided my room's blackout curtains were mere suggestions and proceeded to wage war on my sleep. The next morning, I was covered in itchy welts. The hotel staff, to their credit, were very apologetic, and offered me some ointment. Maybe the smoke detector should've also been a mosquito detector.
- The Absence of Pets Allowed: Unfortunately, you can't bring your furry friends to this hotel.
The Grand Finale: Yay or Nay?
So, would I recommend Escape to Paradise: Yes Hotel Taitung? Absolutely. It's not perfect – no place is – but it's a solid choice. From the moment I stepped in the hotel, I felt at ease. The food was great, the staff was lovely, and the pool… well, that pool deserves its own five-star rating.
Overall Score: 4.5 out of 5 Stars (Minus a half-star for the mosquito saga.)

Okay, buckle up, buttercups, because this isn't your grandma's itinerary. This is my potential train wreck of a trip to the Yes Hotel in Taitung, Taiwan. Prepare for a ride.
YES HOTEL TAITUNG: A MESSY ADVENTURE (MAYBE)
Day 1: Arrival & Existential Dread (Mostly Kidding… Mostly)
- Morning (or whenever my flight actually lands): Arrive at Taitung Airport. Okay, so the plan is to grab a taxi to the Yes Hotel. Pray to the travel gods the taxi driver speaks a tiny bit of English because my Mandarin is… well, let's just say "lost in translation" is a generous description. Immediately, I'll be judging everything. The air quality, the humidity, the general vibe of the airport. It's a compulsion, I can't help it.
- Anxiety Level: High. International travel is a lot.
- Afternoon: Check-In & Hotel Investigation (aka, Room Inspection): Arrive at the Yes Hotel. First impressions are crucial. Am I going to love this hotel or will it be a disaster? (Please, please, don't let it be like that one hostel in Prague…) My internal monologue will be running a mile a minute, critiquing the lobby decor, the speed of the check-in process, the overall "vibe." I'm talking full-blown, interior design critic mode.
- Objective: Unpack my luggage (or at least, try to) and then thoroughly investigate my room. Inspect the sheets for questionable stains. Test the water pressure in the shower. Check for rogue ants. Basically, I'm Goldilocks, but with a severe case of travel paranoia.
- Possible Detour: If the room is a disaster, I might just have a full-blown existential crisis. I'm just saying, I might.
- Evening: Dinner & Staring Longingly at the Ocean (or at least, trying to find the ocean). Okay, so, dinner. The hope is to find some authentic Taiwanese food. I'm thinking street food, the more questionable the better. Hopefully, I won't end up with food poisoning. That happened once in Mexico… never again.
- Potential Disaster: Getting lost. I'm terrible with directions. Like, really terrible. I foresee a lot of wandering aimlessly, looking confused, and relying heavily on Google Maps (and the kindness of strangers).
- Emotional Boost: Attempt to find the coast and stare at the ocean. It's very relaxing!
- Evening Goal: Watch a movie on my laptop, but the hotel wi-fi is probably going to suck.
Day 2: Day Trip to Green Island (and Praying for Not Seasickness)
- Morning: Take a ferry to Green Island. I have a very sensitive stomach. I'm anticipating seasickness. I'm already taking preventative measures (ginger pills, anti-nausea wristbands, a silent prayer to Poseidon). Wish me luck.
- Anticipation Level: High. Green Island looks amazing in photos, but the ferry rides scare me.
- Rant Time: Why are ferries always so rickety and slow? Can't someone invent a teleportation device? I volunteer as tribute to be the first traveler to test it out.
- Afternoon: Green Island Exploration (Maybe Snorkelling. Maybe Just Breathing.) The plan is to explore Green Island. Rent a scooter! (Oh god, I'm not a good driver. This is going to be a disaster.) The plan is to explore and enjoy the sights. Hike if I can. I might snorkel at the famous underwater hot springs, if I'm feeling brave and the water is clear. I might chicken out because I don't like small creatures (e.g. fish swimming near me).
- The Disaster Contingency: If seasickness hits or the scooter rental is too scary, I'm finding a shady spot to sit and cry. Or read. Maybe both.
- Evening: Green Island Sunset & Dinner: Watch the sunset over the ocean. Find a nice restaurant. Perhaps indulge in some fresh seafood. Maybe I'll even make some friends. Okay, that's highly unlikely. But a girl can dream, right?
- Emotional Peak: The sunset. Sunsets are everything. If I can get even a pretty picture, it's a win.
- Nightmare Scenario: Getting lost on Green Island after dark, on a scooter, unable to find my way back to the ferry.
Day 3: Cycling, Food & Reflection (Attempting to be a Culture-Loving Traveler)
- Morning: Rent a bike and cycle along the coast. So, my plan for the day is to be a proper tourist, which is hard for me. I'm gonna take photos of nature, make friends with locals, the works. I'm going to try and be more open-minded, and learn something.
- Self-Criticism: Are those the right shoes for cycling? Probably not.
- Afternoon: Food, Glorious Food (and the Quest for the Perfect Milk Tea). Eat ALL THE THINGS. Street food crawl, anyone? Dumplings, noodles, shaved ice, whatever looks interesting. Okay, I'm also on a mission: to find the BEST milk tea in Taitung. This is a matter of utmost importance.
- Opinion: Good milk tea is non-negotiable. If the tea-to-milk ratio is off, I'm walking away.
- Evening: Relax and Reflect (or, More Likely, Watch Netflix). Back to the Yes Hotel! Back to the comforts of my room (hopefully it's clean and comfy). I can reflect on my time. Take notes in my journal. Contemplate life, the universe, and everything. And honestly, after all the exertion, I'll probably just collapse in bed and watch Netflix.
- Honest Confession: I’ve been a terrible tourist. I feel like I'm missing something. I want to meet someone, but I don't know how.
- Potential Emotional Spike: Is this the trip to find inner peace? (Probably not. But hey, a girl can dream.)
Day 4: Departure (and Saying Goodbye to My Sanity)
- Morning: Reluctantly, check out of the Yes Hotel. One last look at the interior design. One last deep breath. Maybe I'll leave a little something behind me.
- Afternoon: Head back to the airport. Try not to cry. Or freak out about the flight.
- Final Thought: Okay, Taiwan. You’ve been… interesting. Would I come back? Maybe. Probably. This trip has been all over the place, but well, that's life.
Important Notes:
- This itinerary is fluid. Things will change. I guarantee it.
- Expect spontaneity. I'm terrible at sticking to plans.
- Pack snacks. Always.
- Embrace the mess. It's where the best memories are made (and the best stories come from).
So there you have it. My potential Taitung adventure. Prepare for a travel rollercoaster! And cross your fingers for me!
