I'm guessing if you stick to the well touristed areas, English will be common.
It's been a few years since our trip to Panama. We stayed two weeks, don't speak much Spanish, traveled all over, and had no issues.
English is spoken by the majority of professionals and those working in the hospitality/tourism industry. Not everyone - but enough that you won't have a problem.
