Reviews for Belmond Reid's Palace
A 6 star palace
The elegance you can't find anymore in modern top hotels. And a botanic garden with sea view is an unexpected additional feature

A Truly exceptional stay at Reid’s Palace, Maderia
Reid’s Palace is one of the most beautiful hotels I’ve ever stayed in. The setting is stunning, the atmosphere wonderfully tranquil, and the whole place has a charm that makes it incredibly easy to relax and unwind. The staff are genuinely warm and welcoming — nothing is ever too much trouble. We originally booked for four nights, but after our flight was cancelled we returned straight back here, and were greeted as if we were coming home. That says everything about the level of care and hospitality. Although we’ve ventured out to see more of Madeira, the truth is the hotel has everything you need. It’s a peaceful paradise where every detail feels thoughtfully taken care of. I honestly can’t find a single fault and would happily return. Absolutely recommended.

Fab hotel in great location with Old World charm
Stunning cliff top location, this revered hotel has everything you could want for an indulgent stay on Madeira. Wonderful staff who were friendly and attentive to our every need. We had a large comfortable room with a great view of Funchal from our balcony. We loved the breakfast, salt water and fresh water pools, and beautiful gardens. Nice touch to offer a range of complementary activities. We enjoyed the tour of the gardens with a knowledgeable guide. It is a little pricey.

"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.
