Outstanding Hotel! Beautiful setting and amazing interior, gardens and facilities. Family friendly and the staff are amazing from the Spa to the pool to Reception and so much more. The pool restaurant was a firm favourite with my family.

We had such a fun and relaxing time at Reid’s Palace! The grounds are absolutely beautiful, with stunning ocean views, lush gardens, and a timeless charm that made our stay feel so special. The service was wonderful, and lounging by the pool or enjoying cocktails on the terrace was pure bliss. The only small downside is that the rooms feel a bit older, but it’s all part of the classic character of the hotel. Overall, a fantastic experience — we can’t wait to come back!

As usual the experience of Reid’s is beyond expectations, I look forward to at least an annual visit - more if other commitments allow.

"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.
