Pantelleria Dream Resort

...was the phrase the lifeguard was using welcoming us. And he was very true - an exceptional place, worth every stat of it's 4 stars. Well appointed rooms, lovely team, a great flora and fauna and a very delicious restaurant. We were served with a vintage Fiat for 30 EUR per day, directly delivered at the airport and the internet connection is very good and any business can be taken care from here. Highly to recommend!

Hotel Panteleria dreamresort is een exclusieve plek op dit ruige vulcanisch eiland het is heerlijk ontstressen in dit resort met ruime kamers, lees vrijstaande prachtig ingerichte damussi's met een zalig terras die een spectaculair uitzicht bieden op de middelandse zee en prachtige hardroze bougainvilla's. Er is een fantastisch overloopzwembad , eenmaal in het zwembad lijkt het of het doorloopt in zee . Wij zijn hier 5 dagen gebleven restaurant serveert een goed ontbijt en heerlijke typisch Siciliaanse gerechten en zalige wijnen. Ook heel belangrijk , ze hebben er droommatrassen . Het is een eiland vol verassingen ....

Such an amazing hotel. All the staff were great and the owner lorenzo couldn't have been more helpful. We had a great few days at Pantelleria dream hotel. Definitely one of the best places to stay on the island. Thank you! We will be back again hopefully very soon

Amazing location nestled in a beautiful landscape, the staff is super kind and very professional, the owners always present and ready to answer our questions. Rooms very cleaned and spacious. The restaurant has a large array of wines and the food is super delicious

Premise: I stayed at Dream just before the season started (end of May) - so I guess they were still getting everything ready and could cut them some slack for this reason. Still, if the place is open I expect same level of service no matter what time of they year. The location itself is very special. You’ll stay in a Dammuso - typical housing on the Island - with a breathtaking sea view. Rooms are very basic but minimal and cute, and always very clean. However, bathrooms are a bit small and with poor lighting. The real issue for us was service and cleanliness of common areas. When we were there they were having clear staffing issues (I guess pretty common post Covid but still, guests should never be aware of these things), and that so clearly reflected on the level of service provided. I believe it also had to do with inexperienced management. For instance, the pool area was always quite dirty and looked sloppy. Nobody would clean up towels or drinks/food left behind. The pool bathroom was filthy - to the point that I would not use it and walk (quite a long way) to my room instead. I was working remotely and would use common outdoor tables everyday - I had to clean them up myself cause nobody ever did (Pantelleria is a very windy island so outdoor facilities get dirty pretty easily). When we brought this up with staff we were told the lifeguard who was supposed to pick up all these tasks had not arrived yet (??). But nobody would do it in the meantime and they’d instead leave the place dirty. Additionally, breakfast was extremely disappointing. Their breakfast menu on the website does not reflect reality. In addition to the fact that breakfast was presented in a very sloppy way - indoor buffet with very cheap silverware and napkins + food badly placed + often times old fruits - food itself was quite bland. Croissants were not fresh, and they rarely had anything else if not for some bread and coffee cake - while the menu on the website boasts typical desserts, Sicilian brioches etc. You could ask for eggs but that’s it - and coffee quality was poor. All in all, on an island where it is tough to reach spots in general and nothing much is offered, you’d ideally want to be in a hotel that offers all comforts, and this was not it. It was also quite tough to get drinks at the pool bar cause, other than a bartender issue they were having, their pricing for drinks was completely off. They charged us 18€ for one G&T with Hendrick’s gin (which they consider “premium”). While 2 G&Ts with Hendrick’s Gin at the lounge bar down the road (Le Cale) costed us 18€ in total. On a more positive note, the hotel restaurant was very good. Great gourmet food and good selection overall. This is also why we were expecting the same quality for breakfast. But nope, it’s almost like the 2 meals were handled by different restaurants altogether. Overall, I paid a very reasonable price for a week off-season (ish) so these shortcomings notwithstanding it was OK. Howeve
