Reviews for Belmond Reid's Palace
A Wonderful Week
Reid’s Palace is an excellent hotel with an English country house vibe on a Portuguese island in the Atlantic. The standards are high and the staff are fabulous and together they create a calming atmosphere which helps you relax immediately you arrive. The little touches that you receive throughout your stay and in our case the lovely surprise for my partners birthday help to demonstrate that you are indeed a valued guest in a long established and well run business. We hope to return at some point in the future.

Loved this hotel and very family friendly
We were a bit worried after booking this that it may not be family friendly but that could not have been further from the truth. The hotel was incredible, the most beautiful hotel I’ve stayed in. Staff were wonderful and Cirico was fantastic, always about always chatting. Cannot explain how much we loved this hotel. Hope to come back

Very poor service - in fact none at all!
Wanted to have a drink at the famous Reids Palace so we arrived at around noon and were directed to the outside terrace. We sat for about 10 minutes and then my friend went and asked for the drinks menus. Another 5 minutes passed and then a waitress arrived with tea the menu only. We said we wanted cold drinks and she said she would send someone over. Another 10 minutes passed and my friend asked again. Five minutes later another waitress came over and said we were too late to order because they start laying up for lunch at 12.30! We stopped at reception on the way out to remonstrate and they just said we could go to the library if we wanted a drink. No apology. We said the whole point was to sit on the terrace and that was ruined because of poor service. The receptionist just shrugged. So we went back to our own hotel, the Savoy Palace where we were served immediately!

"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.
