“Our six day stay was wonderful. Food excellent, and though we have dined many times in Reid's in the past it was still very special to stay in the hotel. Only complaint the room was too small for the extra large bed, leaving no room to get around it. Next time will have to have a larger room.”
“Amazing hotel, - proper 5* but not "stuffy" - staff very relaxed and friendly - plus great sense of History as the long established best hotel on the island visited by many famous people..”
“Staff were all excellent ! Very customer oriented!”
“Variety and freshness was excellent, service fantastic, anything you asked for was never too much trouble.”
“Service at the Michelin star restaurant was impeccable and food was excellent. They did remembered our anniversary and gave us a cake.”
“It was like traveling back in time to when service and style were paramount”
“We booked a comfort room and thought we would only have a Juliette balcony but on arrival found it was a proper (albeit small) balcony with 2 chairs and a side table with glorious views of Funchal, the marina and Atlantic Ocean. The room felt like a mini-suite with entrance hall to loo and bathroom and inner door to the spacious bedroom which had two armchairs two desks, a large wardrobe and mini-bar (all soft drinks were free). The hotel is a 15 mins walk downhill into Funchal Centre, but the hotel has a courtesy bus that runs once an hour. Fabulous breakfast, located by the glorious pools.”
“Secluded oasis in botanical grade gardens. Old fashioned in a very good way, feels like being home. staff cannot do enough for you. 6th visit here and best hotel on the island. If you like traditional its for you. If you like ultra modern perhaps not.”
“Fantastic location and superb sun decks leading down to the sea. We particularly liked that we had access to swim in the sea. Stunning public rooms all with great views and extremely good breakfasts.”
“Beautiful grounds and swimming pools, superb breakfast, extremely helpful staff, nice room and facilities. Amazing view from balcony. Nice full sized snooker table. Great experience overall.”
