Belmond Reid's Palace

Once again, a fabulous experience, largely down to the outstanding staff that give such a warm welcome. I made an unplanned visit from the cruise I was on, as I have previously done so and had such a lovely time, decided to repeat it. From entering and being shown to the poolside restaurant, I was looked after incredibly well which was comforting as a solo traveller. The pool and the views are outstanding, a wonderful setting to enjoy lunch. I ordered the Salmon sandwich, which came with both smoked and cooked salmon on a bed of lettuce and horseradish sauce. The chips that accompanied it were the best I’ve ever tasted. My piña colada, was both pretty and tasty (and strong!) As it was low season, I did not feel rushed, and in fact if I had not felt a little heady from the drink, would’ve stayed for another. Thank you, Reid’s for making my visit so memorable. I hope to revisit and stay sometime.

Reid's Palace truly feels like an institution and if you can afford it it provides a luxurious but comfortable hotel. The place oozes a calm ambience, with beautiful flower arrangements at every turn. Our room was one of the more modest ones but was still sumptuous. A huge bed, beautiful bed linen and free soft drinks in the minibar. Each evening a small gift is left for you in the room. Breakfast is plentiful and varies=d and can be taken inside or outside the dining room. The grounds are gorgeous, and there are three lovely pools and plenty of sun loungers. Ad hoc drinks, snacks and gifts are brought around to all guests lounging by the pool.

It’s always the best experience. Every year, it never disappoints expectations.The pool, the sea, the accommodation, the common areas, the gardens, the scenery, the staff, the breakfast — everything is “6-star” quality.

Just returned from another amazing stay at Reids. The hotel was elegant and beautiful as always, and the staff incredibly friendly, helpful and professional. A big thank you to Carlota for all her help and advice during our stay, and to all the staff for their excellent attention to detail and perfection in every way. Our Seaview room in the original part of the hotel was stunning and really made our stay special with lovely views of the garden and sea. Breakfast was a delicious delight every morning, and a big thank you to the staff for their happy friendly welcome each morning. The gardens were very tranquil and restful and made for a relaxing daily walk, and an early evening glass of wine spot 😊. Pool area was sublime and relaxing and thank you to the pool staff for their help and attention to every detail. This was an amazing break in the sun, away from the stress of the daily grind, spent with a fun and fantastic group of staff in an incredibly beautiful hotel. Thank you.

A perfect, relaxing stay, friendly and helpful staff, excellent pool, nice surprises such as the little presents in your room every night or the drinks reception with the manager. There is a free shuttle to town several times a day and it also is just a short walk to a nice promenade with very good restaurants. Don‘t miss the falconer visiting the hotel every day - say hello to Jimmy, the harris hawk. The garden is fantastic, don‘t miss the free tour.
