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.

I LOVED everything about this hotel. I will definitely stay here next time I visit. The only negative experience I had was with the valet. They did not pull our car to the front of the hotel as agreed upon during check out. They had us walk over to the parking lot to retrieve our vehicle. Other than that experience, I would give it a 10/10.

What a delight! From the moment you step into the lobby, to when we left, our whole stay was purely wonderful. Staff were courteous, and not in your way too much, the turn down service was lovely especially after returning from an excursion, and the Diptyque bathroom items were pure luxury. A wonderful stay that made Panama even more mesmerizing.

This hotel is a solid five stars. The staff was very friendly. The food at the restaurants was excellent and very tasty. They went above and beyond in anything that you ask of them. The room was perfect and had daily service plus night turn down. The only thing that I would try to make it better is that the shower needs some type of safety handle as the floor is ceramic tile and with the soap becomes a bit slippery. But otherwise this is the perfect hotel for your stay in Panama city.

Honestly one of the best hotel experiences ever. Truly a gorgeous property, the staff were excellent, the location couldn't be better to walk around and see all the sights in the old town. I felt VERY safe and the rooms were amazing. The pool area/bar is wonderful and the room service was superb. I'd definitely stay here again if I go back.

We stayed here for our honeymoon and had the best time. The upgrade for the view was worth it. The staff was amazing, I had never stayed in a place as nice as this. If I had to say one thing negative it would be that our floor had a scent machine pumping arona therapy on it. While it spent nice, it really enraged my allergies. Just something I would have liked to know about before the stay

We had a challenge checking in and they upgraded us. The staff initially had challenges but management excelled in every way to make us happy. The hotel is the essence of beauty and class and fantastic hospitality. We had challenges with the door with the balcony and it was fixed - the hotel as an aging property needs continue care. But it's a gem and a once in a lifetime experience.
