Reviews for Belmond Reid's Palace
An exceptional hotel
I have to say after our 12th visit to this very beautiful hotel, that Reid's Palace is a very special expectational hotel 'one' needs to stay at Reid's Funchal to experience how well we as guest are looked after, pampered is a better word. All the staff at Reid's are experience, give us such a wonderful welcome back and are so attentive to all our needs'.

Perfection in every way
Spent a wonderful week in the hotel. Best breakfasts ever. Fabulous views throughout. The staff were friendly and attentive - nothing too much trouble. Comfortable and well equipped bedrooms with complimentary good quality coffee and soft drinks. Will be returning next year.

It broke our hearts to leave!
I have stayed at a number of the 5* hotels in Madeira and we have stayed at Reids before also, but wow are they better than ever. The staff were brilliant, so friendly and they couldn't do enough for us. We do live to a budget and had one of the lower cost rooms called a Superior Room, but we were treated as if we were staying in the Penthouse Suite. I cant wait to return.

A perfect winter week
There is not a single negative thing I can say about Reid’s. From the way the doorman welcomed us by name on our first arrival, to the stunning hotel, gardens and pool area, to the sound of waves breaking against the cliffs all night, to the always friendly, helpful and respectful staff, to the magnificent breakfasts, to the perfectly equipped rooms and wonderful maid service, to the lovely spa, gym and sauna. All was perfect. A week was nowhere near enough.

Six star service from unforgettable hotel
The Reid Palace is an institution but does it live up to its reputation…….YES. We enjoyed an unforgettable week and the hotel played a major part in a very enjoyable week. Stayed in many 5 star hotels but this had the best service.

"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.
