Sofitel Legend in Casco Viejo was of the best hotels we have been to. From the warm greeting at the door, upgraded room with water view, high quality of food options, incredible pool, and the consistently high level of professionalism of each staff member - we didn’t want to leave. It was a special stay from beginning to end. We would return to Panama just to stay here again. Highly recommend.
