The Experience

Brand new, mother/daughter hostel resort in Mitla, Oaxaca. My mother and I live on site. Taking care of the hostel and pool club guests is the main activity, also little maintenance. Many days we have no guests or pool visitors. Since my mom and I live on site, we normally handle all late night checkins and fill in between shifts. Many days, there would be no tasks at all so you can relax. Cleaning is NOT part of the activities you will be doing

This was a wonderful experience. Brooke and Julie are gracious hosts who have treated me like family. The facilities are the best that I have seen in Oaxaca; with showers and toilets that are always clean, plenty of hot water and an excellent internet connection. The work is enjoyable and takes a few hours of the day, giving you time to work on side projects or explore the area. Mitla is a very special place to visit. The town is famous for its beautiful textiles, Mezcal, pre-Hispanic ruins and prehistoric caves.
