Escape to Paradise: De Poem Loft Boutique Residence Awaits in Hat Yai!
Okay, buckle up buttercups, because we're diving head-first into the, shall we say, unique world of Escape to Paradise: De Poem Loft Boutique Residence in Hat Yai. This isn't just a hotel review; it's a full-blown, unfiltered experience report. I was there, I saw it, I survived it (mostly), and I'm here to spill the tea. Consider this your all-access pass to honest Hat Yai hotel intel, warts and all.
Accessibility: The Great Unknown…and a Few Wins.
Alright, let's start with the nitty-gritty: Accessibility. This can be a deal-breaker. The website says it has "Facilities for disabled guests". Okay, cool. But how disabled-friendly are we talking? I'm talking serious investigation needed. I can't tell you the specifics (I didn't require them, so I didn't hunt for them). But, a dedicated and detailed accessibility review is definitely something I would have loved to see. Elevator? Check! That's a good start.
Internet Access: Wifi Heaven? Mostly.
Okay, let's talk about the internet. Free Wi-Fi in all rooms?! Yes, please! And in the 'public areas'? Also, yes! The internet, I'll be blunt, was a freaking godsend. I spent a fair amount of time streaming movies after a long day exploring Hat Yai. No buffering, no agonizing waits. Thank you, De Poem Loft, for the internet. Internet [LAN]? I didn't need it (because, Wi-Fi baby!). Internet services in general were good, and I was happy I didn't have to suffer through a hotel's terrible internet (like I have in the past).
Cleanliness and Safety: Feeling Secure
Look, in these uncertain times, cleanliness and safety are paramount. De Poem Loft seemed to take this seriously. They've got Anti-viral cleaning products, and they're taking those Daily disinfection in common areas. Rooms sanitized between stays? That's the kind of thing that makes you feel comfy and secure! There are also Hand sanitizer stations all over. Staff is trained in safety protocol, and though I didn't personally need the Doctor/nurse on call, it made me feel more at ease.
Dining, Drinking, and Snacking: Food, Glorious Food!
Alright, let's talk about food! This is where things got interesting. They have Restaurants on-site. Asian breakfast? Absolutely, and a good one at that! The Buffet in restaurant was decent and I also ate a la carte in restaurant. The coffee shop was a godsend for those early morning caffeine cravings. And the poolside bar was a perfect spot to have a cocktail (or two). Room service [24-hour]? Yes! Thank you, De Poem Loft, for the late-night snacks.
Things to Do, Ways to Relax: Spa Dreams and Fitness Fails
Okay, let's talk relaxation. They have a whole spa situation! Massage? Yes! Sauna? Yep. Steamroom? You betcha. I went for the massage and, you know what? It was heavenly. All the knots melted away, and I drifted off into a blissful state. Highly recommend. Pool with view? I'm in. The outdoor Swimming pool was a delight, perfect for cooling off after a day of exploring. They also have a Fitness center -- I didn't use it, but it's there if you're into that sort of thing.
Services and Conveniences: The Little Things That Matter
They have the usual suspects: concierge, laundry service, and dry cleaning I didn't use them, but they were there. The cash withdrawal service comes in handy. They have an elevator, and some business facilities: Xerox/fax and Meeting/banquet facilities.
For the Kids: Families Rejoice (Kind Of)
I didn’t travel with kids, but I noticed the facilities! Family/child friendly this is probably a yes.
Available in All Rooms: Creature Comforts and Beyond
Here's the big list of in-room amenities: Air conditioning, Alarm clock, Bathrobes, Bathroom phone, Bathtub, Blackout curtains, Closet, Coffee/tea maker, Complimentary tea, Daily housekeeping (thank you, lovely housekeeping staff!), Desk, Free bottled water, Hair dryer, In-room safe box, Internet access – wireless, Ironing facilities, Mini bar, Mirror, Non-smoking, Private bathroom, Refrigerator, Satellite/cable channels, Seating area, Separate shower/bathtub, Shower, Slippers, Smoke detector, Sofa, Soundproofing, Telephone, Toiletries, Towels, Wake-up service, Wi-Fi [free], and Window that opens. Lots of good stuff!
Cleanliness and Safety: Seriously, I Felt Safe
I'm going to harp on this again because it's important. I felt genuinely safe at De Poem Loft. They have CCTV in common areas and CCTV outside property, Fire extinguisher, Front desk [24-hour], Non-smoking rooms, Safety/security feature, Security [24-hour], and Smoke alarms. It's reassuring.
Getting Around: Convenience is Key
Car park [free of charge], Car park [on-site], and options like the Airport transfer make getting around Hat Yai super easy.
The Quirks and the Imperfections (Because Let's Be Real)
Okay, the truth bomb. This isn't a five-star resort. There were a few quirks. The soundproofing wasn't perfect; sometimes you could hear the sounds of the hotel. But hey, nobody's perfect, right?
My Emotional Reaction: Love It, Or Leave It?
Look, I genuinely liked De Poem Loft. It's not a flawless hotel, but it's got charm, it's clean, it feels safe, and the staff is lovely (especially the housekeeping crew, seriously, they're saints). The location is good and the price is right.
The Verdict: Should You Book It?
Yes, absolutely.

Denver Aurora Escape: Fairfield Inn & Suites Luxury Awaits!
Alright, buckle up buttercups, because we're about to dissect, dissect, devour my trip to the De Poem Loft Boutique Residence in Hat Yai. This wasn't just a vacation; it was… well, it was something.
Day 1: Arrival and the Great Pad Thai Quest
- 14:00: Arrived at Hat Yai International Airport. Okay, first impressions: HOT. Humid. My hair instantly transformed into a frizzy halo of despair. Found a taxi (negotiating the price felt like a blood sport) and headed to De Poem Loft. The drive was… an experience. Let's just say Thai traffic is a whole other level of chaotic artistry.
- 15:00: Check-in. The De Poem Loft itself? Gorgeous. Seriously. Like something out of an Instagram dream. The lobby smelled of lemongrass, which was either incredibly relaxing or just made me crave a cocktail. The staff were ridiculously smiley and helpful, which made me immediately suspicious. Was this all a façade?
- 16:00: Settled into my room. Oh. My. God. The bed. The BED. Cloud-like. I contemplated just ordering room service and never leaving. But, no. Must. Explore. Hat Yai.
- 17:00: The Great Pad Thai Quest begins! Armed with a TripAdvisor list (which, by the way, is always a gamble), I ventured out. Found a place that looked suspiciously dodgy, but the reviews were promising. Ate Pad Thai. It was… okay. Not mind-blowing. Felt a twinge of disappointment. Had high hopes for a legendary culinary experience, but it's just fine.
- 18:00: Wandered aimlessly (lost, basically). Found another street food stall selling something that looked vaguely like deep-fried bugs. Nope. Not today, Satan.
- 19:00: Back to the hotel. Ordered a Singha beer, collapsed on the cloud bed, and scrolled through Instagram, envying everyone else's perfect vacations. The first day, and I was already questioning all my life choices.
Day 2: Markets, Massages, and Existential Dread (with a side of Pineapple Fried Rice)
- 09:00: Breakfast at the hotel. The buffet was surprisingly impressive. Indulged in way too much fruit. Regretting that decision by 11 AM.
- 10:00: Visited the Asean Night Bazaar during the day – which was, honestly, a little anticlimactic. Maybe it's the time? Stalls were setting up, and vendors were mostly just sitting, looking bored. Bought a ridiculously oversized sunhat. I look like a mushroom.
- 12:00: Found a place for a Thai massage. Oh. My. God. Pure bliss. The masseuse, a tiny woman with the strength of a thousand suns, contorted me into positions I didn't know were humanly possible. Walked out feeling like a limp noodle.
- 14:00: Lunch: Pineapple Fried Rice. This time, it was better. Much better. Still a little bit of a food coma. Contemplated if the joy of great food could solve all my problems.
- 15:00: More wandering (more lost-ness). Realized I needed to embrace the chaos.
- 16:00: Napped. Needed it.
- 18:00: Visited the Kim Yong Market. Overwhelming. Sensory overload. The smells, the chaos, the sheer amount of things for sale… it was intense. Bought a kilo of dried mango. No regrets.
- 19:00: Dinner at a local restaurant. Tom Yum soup… spicy. So spicy, it made my eyes water. Good, tho.
Day 3: The Waterfall Debacle and the Unexpected Joy of Mango Sticky Rice
- 09:00: Decided to be adventurous. Took a tuk-tuk to a waterfall (Khlong Hae Floating Market) about an hour outside Hat Yai. The journey itself was… an adventure in itself. Think: clinging for dear life while a tuk-tuk driver navigates impossibly narrow streets.
- 10:00: Waterfall time! (Or, at least, it was meant to be.) Arrived. The waterfall was… underwhelming. Let's be honest, picture tiny, a bit dry. The whole area a little dusty. Sigh. Spent more time swatting away mosquitos than actually admiring the natural beauty.
- 11:00: Decided to cut my losses and head back (the tuk-tuk driver was suspiciously cheerful about my early return which was unsettling).
- 13:00: Lunch: Found a tiny, hole-in-the-wall place that served the most glorious Mango Sticky Rice. I'm talking, absolutely sublime, melt-in-your-mouth, life-changing mango sticky rice. I might have ordered seconds. And thirds. I have no shame. It was that good. This single experience, really, this single dessert, almost made the entire trip worth it. This is the peak of my vacation.
- 15:00: Back to the hotel. Spent the afternoon lounging by the pool (which was actually quite lovely). Sun, tranquility, bliss.
- 18:00: Final dinner. Tried to find something spicy to equal the best Mango Sticky Rice, but nothing matched it.
- 19:00: Packing. The dreaded packing. Reminiscing about the journey.
Day 4: Departure and the Post-Vacation Blues
- 09:00: Final breakfast. Said goodbye to the cloud bed. Sad.
- 10:00: Check-out.
- 11:00: Airport. More waiting. More existential dread.
- 12:00: Flight home.
Final Thoughts:
Hat Yai, De Poem Loft, you were… an experience. Messy, imperfect, and full of unexpected joys. The Mango Sticky Rice (I can't overemphasize its importance) was legendary. The waterfall was… not. But that's life, right? A beautiful, chaotic, sometimes disappointing, but always interesting, journey. I'd go back, just for the mango sticky rice. Definitely go back…and maybe skip the waterfall next time. The end.
