Beautiful surroundings with impeccable service from Maryin and Gabriel (Geisha Coffee). Truly impressed with the restoration of the building but more than anything else we enjoyed the service of the staff. Food fully lived up to our expectations for kids and adults alike.

This is my second time staying at the Sofitel Legend in Casco Viejo and it is absolutely stunning again. So much so that I extended my original 3 nights here to 6 nights. I was lucky enough to be upgraded to a higher room category (I appreciate this thoughtfulness given the low season availability). There is a gorgeous balcony overlooking the central courtyard with the sound of the sea in the background. The room is large, well appointed, very comfortable bed and linen, large bathroom with a clawfoot bath, separate shower room, double sink and separate WC. The staff are universally excellent - the front desk, concierge, lobby bar, room service. There is a serviceable gym, the pool is wonderful and the location is superlative. Ammi & the lobby bar are excellent. I plan to try the speakeasy later this week. If you having a couple of nights in Panama City I would highly recommend a stay here. Wonderful value for money and so easy to access the great bars and restaurants in Casco (easy Uber rides elsewhere in the city).

This hotel takes its 5-star status seriously! Everyone we met , from the front desk to housekeeping, made us feel like VIPs. Between the cozy room, top-notch amenities, delicious on-site restaurants and bars, and amazing ocean views, this place easily ranks among the best.
