Belmond Reid's Palace

highly recommended, wonderful hotel, very attentive staff, great location and great facilities, excellent food

A wonderful hotel. Ideally situated with sweeping views and an amazing garden. Will come again and highly recommended!

I now understand why vacationers continue to stay at Reid’s Palace year after year. From the moment we arrived until the time we left 5 days later. I could not find a flaw. The food was outstanding. As many visitors stated, the breakfast was off the charts. Delicious everything, but I will say that my favorite was the daily crepes. Fresh fruits, eggs, pastries , juices, coffee, etc. we also enjoyed the Gastro Bar, Brisa De Mar, and Villa Ciprianni. Service at all restaurants was outstanding. We had a large suite which overlooked the pool/ocean. It had it all including a large bathroom with separate shower. I have to shout out our wonderful housekeeper who kept our room sparking clean and surprised us with little gifts each evening. Check out was a breeze. What a wonderful place! We will be back!

The perfect hotel for a stay in Madeira. Situated on a secluded cliff with an amazing view, but still in walking distance from Funchal (even for a 7 month pregnant). The staff went above and beyond at all times, I can't praise them enough. Traditional, exclusive luxury feeling at all times. You feel pampered and extremely well taken care of. The rooms are amazing. The hotel itself is huge, old school, but beautifully maintained and extremely clean. The food is excellent, William was the highlight, but both breakfast and lunch were also amazing. Left two days ago, already looking forward to coming back.

We stayed for four nights and truly regretted not booking a few more. The setting is absolutely stunning, and the service is exceptional. This aspect is especially important to us, and we were not disappointed — there were thoughtful little touches throughout our stay that made a real difference. The kind of attention to detail you only find in truly outstanding 5-star hotels. It’s hard to find anything negative to say, though we did find the bedding in our sea-view room to be below the standard of everything else. Another highlight: the hotel never felt crowded. The sun loungers by the pool are well spaced, allowing for privacy and relaxation. That might seem like a small thing, but to us, it’s exactly the kind of detail that reflects the overall quality of an establishment. In short: it’s the small things that truly make the difference — and here, they are clearly taken seriously. A top-tier 5-star hotel that we highly recommend.
