Madeira, and this hotel in particular, had been on my list of places to visit for many years. We booked a superior room for three nights at the end of May. The room was a decent sized double, with an extra wide bed, comfortable mattress, balcony, and a nice view of Funchal harbour. Maid service was very good indeed, with... More

The day before we came home we called in and had afternoon tea on the terrace. A lovely experience followed by a walk around the gardens. The perfect way to end a great holiday

Reid's is a hotel already at the top of its game, but on the last visit we thought that there had been yet further improvement from an establishment that was already very hard to fault. One of the keys to the excellent experience at Reid's seems to be that the management and staff are constantly considering how to enhance all... More

We had a delightful lunch at the pool restuarant. The restuarant is beautifully decorated and the view over the p[ool is stunning.

Me and my other half stayed here for a long weekend, and I can honestly say I've never stayed anywhere like it - and I've travelled a lot! Yes, it's an old hotel and there are a few bits that need updating, but that's all forgotten when you start to explore the hotel. This is proper old school luxury -... More

An old grand lady getting old and loosing its glamour of the old days. Tourists of all over the world (with and without taste and manners) are now populating this gem of a lost century. Nevertheless the Reid's seems still to be the first address of Funchal - if you are lucky to get an old nice room to the... More

Dear Guest, Many thanks for your contribution and honest feedback, which is much appreciated. Definitely the grand dame of the Atlantic Ocean, keeping its charm and character. A good example would be the tea lounge that was recently refurbished, being refreshed, but keeping the soul of it, and making the wringles even nicer. Also all the investment made year on... More

Reids Palace is the ultimate in warm , human, efficiency. You will find no Phillipe Stark designer wear. It is not cool or trendy. Although the public rooms are beautifully maintained, they have probably changed little in appearance in decades. But from the moment that you walk through the door you are embraced by friendly and helpful and polite professionalism.... More
