I want to offer the deepest gratitude to Hotel Casa de Adobe and the truly wonderful, generous, kind beautiful, sweet, funny, and so very helpful staff. I want to thank and hug them all so much, in such gratitude. I am blessed to have the opportunity to be here in Oaxaca almost a month for a multicultural professional conference in transpersonal psychology- and I will be teaching at one event. I wanted a place where I could totally relax, prepare, work, and be somewhat taken care my event. This was the hotel I chose to pamper me in that preparation.
I can not express enough how amazing all the staff have been, especially Luis, Orlando, more front desk staff, our waiters, the night staff and more ( I will try to come back and name everyone if I can with correct spelling). :). I am embarrassed I asked for so much help, and yet I am SOOOO grateful for all everyone did. Luis spent soooooo much time and effort shifting my room when a friend came to join me last minute, he helped figure out how to get fliers printed for my event, they helped me get a taxi to pick up my fliers, endless key re-activations... (lo signet!), and often I was up in the middle of night ( 3, 4 or 5am ) and I worked out in the open art area.
The night staff brought me coffee at 4 am and giggled with me (thank you lovely woman :) ). I struggled with the language, they have been soooo kind. Thank you. It also feels embarrassing to be an American right now, and Mexico and all the people and all staff here have been so kind, so welcoming and helpful. Thank you. I needed a place to work, relax and prepare.
I had a severe incident of identity theft that I had to tend to while here (it happened in the states, not in Mexico) and I was so stressed after working for almost 6 Horus straight with credit bureaus, etc that I wanted a cigarette (I don't smoke) .. and Orlando offered to go get me one at a store... and it was just what I needed to ground myself with a nice neighborhood walk after several friends sent money to this scam thinking it was me. Thank you Orlando, Luis and others. ( I know we have been 'needy,' please forgive us, and thank you).
The Hotel itself is absolutely impeccably exquisitely gorgeous!!! It is a new hotel, with the made to appear older... the landscaping is precious!!! The pool and hot tub in the center are wonderful. They have a lovely rooftop restaurant and bar that has AMAZING views of Oaxaca and the Mountains. It is also an art gallery and the art if magnificent. Many multiple layers and stairs, marigolds, sweet balconies. It has all the creature comforts that I don't need really, yet, again, because I was preparing to teach, it was so helpful.
It is in a beautiful residential neighborhood that is nice to walk around and some restaurants, and what neighborhoods would have. It is a short taxi ride to the Oaxaca Centro. I also stayed in some very sweet different places while in Oaxaca, all levels - and those have been great too, especially an old artisan restored 17th century Hacienda Complex up towards the mountains- serves as a training school and center.
It's great to be downtown and also very old, truly, places too. Oaxaca Centro is amazing.I will come back, to Oaxaca for certain. Mexico is such loving generous open hearted beautiful country, land and people.
Thank you, Mexico, thank you Oaxaca, and thank you Casa De Adobe. With love, gratitude and reverence, Nadine read more
