"I was with my friends, who had booked at this property, and we were "guests" at the hotel pool. My friends, who were also hotel guests, were told that outsiders could enter for free. We arrived at the pool and shortly afterward were told that entry would be €25. Despite not having been told anything at first, we decided to stay. Shortly afterward, they told us that in addition to the entrance fee, the management, instead of charging us a MANDATORY aperitif along with the entrance fee, would have charged us €25 in total. Not content with this, they told us—to "accommodate us"—that they would offer us a more generous aperitif so we could also eat more. This aperitif, I repeat, none of us had asked for, and one of the guys working there had proposed it to us on his own initiative, telling us it was included in the infamous €25 price. Moral of the story: after spending just an hour at the pool (and drinking tonic water, tea, and a spritz), we went to pay and the same guy told us we were supposed to pay €55 (that is, €25 entry fee plus a whopping €30 for an aperitif, which, I repeat, none of us had asked for). After minutes of insistence, during which all six of us pointed out that the price he'd quoted us was €25, we asked to speak to management, who ultimately "agreed" on us the modest sum of €35. All this for an aperitif we never asked for, for an entrance fee no one had told us we'd pay, and for an aperitif that was, moreover, poorly presented and with very little to offer. What shocked us, however, wasn't just the price, but the way this guy addressed us, acting like nothing was happening and taking back everything he'd said to us at the pool. Absolutely not recommended. Entrepreneurship is something else entirely, I'm sorry... they've lost customers forever, and we'll definitely spread the word about this awful, sordid episode."

"This was my first visit to Panerea. It had been talked up so much I was hoping for an experience that would blow me away. First I want to say the view from our terrace and the proximity to the dock was fantastic. Unfortunately that did not make up for the areas where it was lacking. The bed, sheets and pillows were the worst I have ever slept on. The mattress was like a rock as were the pillows and the sheets were scratchy and uncomfortable. I believe if the owner or anyone in management slept on these one night they would replace them in every room as the consensus amongst guests was they were extremely uncomfortable. Bathroom had mold on the ceiling and the patio needed a good cleaning. The pool had trash thrown in it. Breakfast was just OK. You had to ask at least three times to get coffee and then it was just warm. There were stairs with no lighting forcing us to use our phone flashlights. I will say the staff at the front desk was very pleasant. However a good nights sleeps makes or breaks a place with me. I will not be returning"

"We treated ourselves to a one night stay here, as we were travelling back to the mainland from Stromboli. We had a double room with partial sea view from the small balcony. The room was absolutely spotless, and the bathroom & shower were amazing. Lovely products in the bathroom. All the staff here are so lovely, and the service from being collected from the port to checking out was amazing. Breakfast was excellent, staff super attentive. This is the kind of place where nothing is too much trouble. The food in the restaurant Broccia was delicious, the crispy shrimp in their thin and crispy coating were some of the best shrimp I have ever had! The restaurant at night was really nice because it’s quiet and off the beaten track a little bit, although Panarea is quite tiny so also not far from anything. We also both had a massage in the late afternoon, i think it was the oiliest massage i have ever had, but really nice! The view from the roof terrace is beautiful in the evening, although the rooms on the roof were unoccupied when we stayed, i am not sure how residents of those rooms would feel about sharing their view! Wonderful stay, would recommend a stay here for sure."

"WORST EXPERIENCE IN MY LIFE, DIRTY, HORRIBLE SERVICE AND VERY UNPOLITE. WE LEFT THE HOTEL AND PAID THIS HOTEL PLUS THE NEW ONE, IT WAS IMPOSSIBLE TO STAY. THEY NEVER CLEANED EVEN ONCE THE ROOM OR ANYWHERE IN THE HOTEL, OUR ROOM WAS FULL OF COCKROACHES AND INSECTS, NIGHT MARE"

"We really enjoyed our stay at this hotel. The location is super central, convenient for exploring Panarea on foot and easily reaching the main points of interest. But the real added value was Loredana, the receptionist: extremely kind, helpful, and always smiling from the first to the last minute of our stay. She made us feel welcome right away, providing helpful advice and assistance with great professionalism and warmth. A precious presence that truly makes the difference! Highly recommended, we'll definitely be back!"

"Truly beautiful property, meticulously maintained by Luca and his mother, who prepares magnificent breakfasts. Beautiful, clean rooms in a meticulously maintained garden. The location guarantees a breathtaking view."

"The Kyma is a magical place, new rooms are treated in every particular, we were in the first floor rooms and from the terrace we looked at Stromboli and Basiluzzo. Breakfast is excellent and with healthy and quality products. The two brothers owners of the building are of a disarmant gentleness. Super super recommended!!"
