A Pleasant and Enjoyable Stay at Hotel Cocle, Penonome, Panama

We stayed in Hotel Cocle, Penonome, Panama.




Short term mission trips are always self funded trips. Therefore to save cost, we often stay in the local church houses whenever we go on mission trips in the past.










Pretty and well manicured gardens surround this hotel





However, at times, due to health issues and special circumstances,  we are willing to pay more to stay in a decent hotel in order to get some good rest.

Resting well would allow us to carry out our work better in the country we are serving.




















This time we did just that and  stayed in a hotel close by with easy access to some city amenities.

Hotel Cocle is located close to some shops and restaurants within easy walking distance.

























It has beautiful well maintained  gardens.





















We were glad that we could have our meals early in the morning at the restaurant located on the ground floor offering a hot buffet breakfast.

After breakfast, our team had our morning devotion right at our table. I appreciated the sharing led by our leader,David, and insight from the members of our team.








We saw people swimming in the hotel swimming hotel.

Unfortunately we did not have time to enjoy it.












Main lobby of Hotel Cocle, Penonome, Panama.









The main lobby was open and spacious. We enjoyed sitting in the lobby enjoying the cool breezes while preparing for our presentations.


















One of the things we enjoyed and appreciated the most was the fresh flowers cut from the gardens and put in vases both in the lobby and on every table in the hotel dining room.


















I took pictures of them every day as the flowers were changed.











The staff of Hotel Cocle was very friendly and helpful, making our week long stay a pleasant and enjoyable experience in Panama.








We would certainly come back and stay there again!
