Reviews for Belmond Reid's Palace
Madeira at its best .
A really special hotel that I hope to revisit soon. From the moment you arrive the staff are all friendly and helpful . Every area of the hotel is exquisite, with seating areas to enjoy each vista this hotel has to offer . Our balcony was a perfect spot to watch the sunrise before heading for a long and leisurely breakfast, we were certainly set for the day . Cipriani was such a good restaurant we visited twice . The 1891 bar with exceptional views out to sea offers a great choice and the live music perfect . Our visit really was special and I would highly recommend this hotel to others.

Old world charm, modern conveniences with the most graceful and attentive staff!
An outstanding stay with fantastic staff that are wonderfully attentive with personalised service. They really elevated the experience. Old world history and charm along with all the updated modernity make this a proper relaxed but upscale and refined feel.

Beyond expectations
In all respects, Reid's Palace exceeds expectations - staff, rooms, service and food (not forgetting the gardens) - all classic and memorable.

"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.
