From the moment of arriving to when we left, we felt like the only ones that mattered to all the staff. (I’m sure all other guests felt the same). I’ve stayed in many 5 star hotels but this ranks right at the top for everything about it. We stayed on 6th floor with a view from our balcony overlooking the new city in the distance. Spectacular when lit up in the evening. Look out for the ‘hidden bar’ at the hotel too! We will be back.

We visited Panama about two weeks ago, and the experience was absolutely fabulous. I highly recommend staying at the Sofitel for a truly luxurious experience. The hotel is clean, safe, and, most importantly, stunning. From the moment we arrived, we were warmly welcomed. The staff is exceptionally professional and attentive. The food and desserts were consistently delicious—we dined at every restaurant within the hotel and enjoyed each one, especially Caleta, where we had our first dinner. Juan, our waiter, and Joselyn, the hostess, were both personable and professional, making the evening even more memorable. Our room was excellent, complete with a lovely balcony we enjoyed throughout our stay. The hotel’s location is ideal, surrounded by a variety of dining options, attractions, and shops. I also recommend using the hotel’s transportation services. Our driver was incredibly knowledgeable and drove with precision and care. He was also very friendly and professional, which made getting around the city even more enjoyable.

I absolutely loved my stay at Sofitel Legend. The staff were exceptionally friendly, warm, and attentive, making me feel truly welcome. My room was spotless, beautifully appointed, and included thoughtful touches that personalized my experience. The breakfast at Caleta was outstanding, and I thoroughly enjoyed my afternoon bites at Mayda as well. I highly recommend trying the La Reina cocktail, it was simply exquisite. The hotel’s location is ideal, tucked away on a quiet corner by the water in Casco Viejo, perfect for strolling through the charming shops and restaurants nearby. I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a memorable and refined stay.

The staff was exceptional. Very welcoming and attentive to our needs. The hotel smelled wonderful even in the elevator. The dining staff was eager to make us feel welcomed and offered meals suggestions that were perfect for us to experience Panama cuisine. It would be very hard to choose any other place better than Sofitel Legend for our next visit. I highly recommend this piece of paradise. We will be back.
