This is the most beautiful and welcoming hotel. We loved it! Management sets the standard. The staff are so professional. I loved the out door sea pool. So much attentional to detail, everywhere. Looking forward to our return. Food is terrific.

We have been to Reid's sufficient times over the last 20 years to have lost count. The facilities are excellent and the staff throughout are second to none. You really do feel on return that you are coming home.

It was 25 years since our last visit and we enjoyed every moment of our visit. The ambience and charm of this historic hotel has been retained but facilities have been carefully updated in recent years. We had one problem in our suite that was dealt with most satisfactorily by the staff. We will definitely not wait 25 years to return!

"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.
