Reid's Palace, A Belmond Hotel, Madeira

Reid's Palace, A Belmond Hotel, Madeira

10/10 Excellent
"Reid’s is a beautiful property with multiple pools and diving access to the ocean. Our stay involved changing rooms ( not the hotels fault), and not all rooms are the same. The first room had a walk in shower but the second room had a very slippery tub shower. There was construction going on during our stay that made for noisy afternoons. The food was really good and there are multiple restaurants, however, I would reserve a table in advance of your stay to guarantee your spot at dinner. The service was exceptional."

"Great location and architecture. Lots of room options. Generous 'all-inclusive' offering. Music far too loud at main pool. Discarded Food outside next door's room was left for >12 hours before collection despite prompt. Food options are great...IF YOU CAN GET BOOKED IN. We had several messages from Hyatt prior to arriving, asking if we wanted to select a specific room...It would have been far more useful if they had asked us what restaurant we wanted to book for our first 2 nights...there was no availability when we checked in."
