Reviews for Belmond Reid's Palace
Exceptional Week’s Stay Again
Our second visit to Reid’s Palace and once again, a faultless week. Every member of staff was so friendly and nothing was too much trouble for them. Excellent room, service, food and more. Afternoon tea again was a joy. As was supper in Cipriani on our last night. We didn’t eat in William this time but we did enjoy the new ice cream parlour a couple of times.!! What confirmed the exceptional level of service for me, was that I developed tooth ache during our stay. On Wednesday evening, I asked the Reception/Concierge team to try and book me a dentist appointment for the next day. They said they would sort it. At 0830 the next morning, the room phone rang and I now had a dentist appointment in Funchal at 0900. They ordered a taxi for us and at 0900 I was in the dentist chair with a lovely view out to sea.!!!! Antibiotics prescribed and then we headed back. Happy to report tooth ache did eventually go away after we got back. We will definitely be back again at Reid’s in the future.

SUPERB COCKTAILS AND SERVICE
we were on board a ship with an overnight stop in Funchal, so 5 of us decided to have predinner cocktails at the hotel. What an unexpectedly fabulous experience. From the witty staff - all great fun - to delicious cocktails on an impressive Colonial terrace with stunning bay views. Quite an experience ! we will return as hotel guests !

"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.
