Reviews for Belmond Reid's Palace
Family holiday - Fantastic
Our second visit to Reid's and if anything better than the fantastic experience we had the first time round. Restaurants and hotel facilities are great and all the staff cannot do enough for you. Lovely room and I really appreciate the fact that the 3rd bed bought into our room for our daughter was a proper bed and mattress, not some sofa bed or fold away. We availed ourselves of the guest relations team to organise a day excursion to explore the island which was great and they recommended some great restaurants outside the hotel. One of our favourite hotels and I cannot see any reason why we won't be visiting for many years to come.

Heaven on earth
Just wow. This hotel in my eyes was faultless. A true experience of quality and care. Check in was seamless, the hotel had already reached out to confirm our arrival times and when we arrived had a glass of bubbles and a tour. Our room was well equipped with a stunning view over the gardens and to the sea. Beds super comfy, gorgeous bedding and loved our turn down service. We were also treated to complimentary madiera cakes and madiera wine - a lovely touch. There is nowhere in this hotel that hasn't been carefully thought about or maintained and truly is like going back in time but in the most positive way. Breakfast and lunch options are delicious with changing daily chefs specials. The staff are well informed and fantastic. I have nothing but positive words to say about our stay and truly cannot wait to return ❤️

Superb
A beautiful hotel with a fantastic team who make you feel very special in the most genuine way. Our room was very comfortable and well equipped, and the pool area was equally well appointed.

A great experience
Continuing a family tradition started over 50 years ago - Reids continue to provide an excellent all-round experience. Keep up the good work, maintain the high standards and we look forward to returning.

Classy and timeless
Spent 4 days/nights pretty much all at this excellent authentic famous establishment. One or two quirks for less physically active guests due to location [hilly, lot of inclines, uneven surfaces and steps] and age of building [rather noisy plumbing and old fashioned bath/shower that wasn't the easiest/safest to use], but I absolutely loved it. Restaurants and staff friendly, professional and first class quality, view from the sea view room and the sea swimming from the base of cliff pool and platform outstanding. An excellent choice for sol travellers as the staff were so keen to engage and make welcome

"Reid's Palace was the best hotel I have ever experienced . Staffs were super friendly and everything was possible from the concierge. Reid's made my honeymoon perfect."
-I. Yoon
An extraordinary value! Reid's Palace Hotel is a handsome historic property featuring breathtaking water views, exotic gardens, a full range of amenities and delicious and varied food options. We found the staff to be very helpful and dedicated to making our 4-day stay with them a holiday in every sense. We appreciated the extra attention the staff paid to getting us in and out of the airport, circumventing the crowds and shortening our travel and wait times. This is Luxury Link at its best.
