10/10 Excellent
"Great hotel, staff super friendly, rooms are clean, bed very comfortable. Outside area well maintained, Breakfast was excellent and has an amazing view to Funchal. Parking garage comes handy. I had a little trouble looking for the main entrance, it is on the main road next to a big garage door. If you coming with a car try to find parking on the side street or have someone go inside the hotel and ask main desk to open the garage because you wont be able to park outside and get your bags out. It is a busy street."

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."

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."
