Incredible hotel! The staff is amazing. So friendly, helpful, and accommodating. The grounds, rooms, and views are stunning. The sea pool is beyond and the diving boards are so much fun. We brought our 8 month old and they provided a crib, stuffed animal, and adorable backpack. The staff was also very sweet with the baby and offered a high chair at every meal. We also really enjoyed the thoughtful nightly gifts during turndown service. Spa also very nice. Would highly recommend. Close to the airport. Incredible experience.

Wonderful stay in the wonderful Reid's Palace! Beautiful, tranquil surroundings a mere 15-20 min walk from Funchal. We stayed in a Superior Room which was spacious and comfortable. Food choices are varied in the hotel with 4 restaurant options in high season, great room service options and an excellent breakfast buffet. We didn't do the afternoon tea or eat in The William but would consider on a return visit. We couldn't fault the delicious seafood in Brisa do Mare or Italian options in Villa Cipriani, also the new Gelateria is a fun and delicious addition. All served up with a fabulous Madeiran welcome!
