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.
