Had a lovely stay - the service for the most part was great. A few hiccups here and there but overall my family and I enjoyed our vacation. Joanna at guest services was an absolute delight and made my family and I very happy with our stay. Breakfast was amazing. The heated pools, steam, sauna and other facilities were great! Will consider coming back again.

A Five-Star Oasis of Comfort and Elegance at Reid’s Palace
During a period marked by uncertainty and financial instability, I had the privilege of staying at Reid’s Palace in Madeira, and it was nothing short of extraordinary. As a jet-setter, I’ve visited many five-star hotels, but few have matched the unique blend of luxury and protection I found here.
From the moment I arrived, I was welcomed with warmth and attentiveness, treated like royalty in every interaction. The staff, attentive to the smallest detail, ensured that my needs were anticipated and met before I even voiced them. I felt protected, almost like a king within the sanctuary of the palace walls, which was a priceless feeling during such a turbulent time.
The ambiance of the palace exudes elegance and sophistication, with an atmosphere that’s both historic and refreshingly modern. Every space, from the opulent suites to the inviting lounge areas, reflects meticulous attention to detail. The culinary experiences were another highlight—impeccable flavors that speak to the best of Madeira’s local cuisine, artfully prepared to perfection.
Reid’s Palace is more than just a place to stay; it’s a refuge for the soul, offering not only physical luxury but a sense of tranquility and security that’s simply priceless. This is a destination for anyone seeking an outstanding, five-star experience with unmatched hospitality and an environment that allows you to feel truly protected and at peace.
Thank you, Reid’s Palace, for making my stay unforgettable. I look forward to returning.

A Secure and Historic Retreat at Reid’s Palace
My recent stay at Reid’s Palace was a refreshing experience, providing a sense of security and comfort during a difficult time dealing with financial and business-related challenges. The hotel’s blend of historical elegance and modern amenities made it the perfect sanctuary, and I felt completely at ease within its beautifully preserved walls.
Reid’s Palace is steeped in history, and the building itself has a story to tell. I found myself drawn to its rich background, and learning about its origins and role in local heritage added a fascinating layer to my stay. The hotel is more than just a place to sleep—it’s an experience in itself, a blend of architecture and ambiance that transports you to another era.
I’d highly recommend setting aside a full day or two to fully explore Reid’s Palace without leaving the premises. There’s so much to enjoy here, from the stunning views and unique rooms to quiet reading nooks and impeccably designed interiors that capture the charm of a bygone era. It’s a truly unique destination, perfect for those looking to immerse themselves in a setting that combines elegance, history, and a sense of personal peace.

What an amazing stay!
It was our first time in Madeira and team Reid’s palace made the experience 5*****!
All the staff were super helpful and welcoming. Great breakfast. Love love love the sea water pools (yes, there are 3). Gorgeous view at the bar, restaurant, and room.
A++! Will definitely go back (cos I don’t know if Madeira would be the same without the Reid’s palace experience.
One note. Mosquitoes is a bit of a problem there. They have mosquitoes repellent in the room but remember to use it!!

Did the garden tour. Guide spoke too quietly so hard to hear properly, also didn't pause when had moved on to allow the group to get together before beginning talking again. Content was more about Reeds than the garden. However the gardens are worth seeing.
