Reviews for Belmond Reid's Palace
It Doesn't Get Any Better
Reid's is everything it's reputed to be. The service is the best I've ever had (I've visited over 100 countries). It's gorgeously situated. We did feel the Cipriani Restaurant was over-priced although the service was great and the portions were generous.

Heaven
Once you have stayed here and experienced the luxury and service which sets this hotel apart from any on the island, you’ll never stay anywhere else. Unrivalled location, secret seats in the gardens, peace and tranquility. Massive shout out to Joana, Guest Services. If I ran an hotel, you’d be first on my list.

What a wonderful time we he…!
This place kept getting recommended to us by various people so we thought we would try it for some winter sun. We will 100% return!! The service, the food, the ambiance, everything was divine!! We popped over for a three night break to see what we thought and really didn’t want to leave! Highly recommend if you are looking for somewhere to recharge your batteries. The spa was also amazing!!

The definition of elegance and charm
We return once again to the magic that is Reid’s Palace. The hotel and more importantly the team are the definition of excellence in hospitality. Our now twice yearly visits have become highlights in the calendar as the body and mind just relaxes and unwinds from everyday life. A special day today was made even more delightful with so many subtle and elegant touches (bespoke flowers on the table, champagne, a cake presented by the wonderful restaurant team at breakfast and of course sincerely delivered best wishes from Lucia, Francisca, Rita and the team. A further shout out to Clara who is in Reid’s from La Residencia in Deia- a charming and engaging ambassador for Belmond who was delightful to meet. Summary - perfect as always and a slice of elegance and charm in at times a mad world

"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.
