Belmond Reid's Palace

This was our fifth visit to Reid’s and it never fails to impress with its quality and brilliant staff

Our fourth visit (we are just new boys compared to some veteran returnees) to Reid’s offers a home away from home. We arrive and feel like we belong and are welcome ! From room selection to dining choices and even deckchair allocation we know the layout of Reid’s ..... and Reid’s know how to meet our choices and expectations. Staff (including the calm and professional reception team Benjamin/Joaio, the dedicated pool staff lead by Helder and of course the irrepressible Lucia) are always on call to ensure a comfortable stay. The geography and topography of Reid’s suggests that it's only for the fittest and most agile - but that is a myth….just don’t leave anything you need in your room, as it’s likely to be a fair way away from where you currently are…..but navigating a tour through the manicured gardens and palatial public rooms makes every journey worthwhile ! Even the evening entertainment ( a classical recital one night, a pleasant trio another) after a variety of good local meals, is aimed to make you feel relaxed and cherished. We look forward to a return visit as and when….but hopefully soon.

First class experience. Got a seat on the balcony right up at the railings. Service was polite and friendly. Food was excellent. A stunning experience.

A fabulous, special experience! Ignore any negative reviews, this is a wonderful and delicious afternoon tea! We were made to feel very special from the moment we arrived and nothing was too much trouble. Excellent service at all times. The food was delicious and we were constantly asked if we wanted more of anything. Yes it may be a little pricey but with out a doubt worth every penny! Loved every moment!

Fantastic Hotel and all the positive reviews are spot on. This is a top class hotel with great service. The staff are really attentive without being over the top. The views from the main bar and the rooms are beautiful. The furnishing in the rooms you pass through and the beautiful settees are so classic with the old photos, it is like a stately home. The pool area is lovely and the there are some wonderful sun loungers down by the rocks where the staff look after you. We ate at two of the hotel restaurants which were also top class. Finally , I had a issue that i contacted reception about and the hotel manager Edwardo got in touch and personally resolved the issue. This place is 10/10
