Bogdan from West Ukraine gave me an excellent deep tissue massage. I am an advanced medical/orthopedic massage therapist licensed in New York since 2014. I have had massages all over Europe and they all were bad except this one. My compliments to Bogdan for his kindness, professionalism, expertise, and DEEP pressure. I felt much better after. Also kudos to the spa manager for creating a gorgeous environment with great steamroom/sauna, shower with body jets, beautiful amenities, and incredible view of the bay. It's expensive but worth every penny for the experience. Remember to tip your therapist, he doesn't get all that money you paid Reid's!
I would not recommend this hotel for a solo traveler, which is too bad because I wanted to explore more of Belmont’s hotels that I will not be doing that. If you’re an old couple, I think this is a good restaurant and hotel to spend time at, but if you’re a solo traveler, you will be very uncomfortable
I had a wonderful stay at Reid's Palace! The views over the water are absolute perfection, making the entire experience feel special from the moment you take them in. The accommodations were clean, comfortable, and very nice overall. What really elevated the visit, though, was the service—the staff was incredibly accommodating, friendly, and eager to help with anything needed. Highly recommend for anyone visiting Portugal!
Fantastic Hotel and all the positive reviews are spot on. This is a top class hotel with great service. The staff are really attentive without being over the top. The views from the main bar and the rooms are beautiful. The furnishing in the rooms you pass through and the beautiful settees are so classic with the old photos, it is like a stately home. The pool area is lovely and the there are some wonderful sun loungers down by the rocks where the staff look after you. We ate at two of the hotel restaurants which were also top class. Finally , I had a issue that i contacted reception about and the hotel manager Edwardo got in touch and personally resolved the issue. This place is 10/10
A fabulous, special experience! Ignore any negative reviews, this is a wonderful and delicious afternoon tea! We were made to feel very special from the moment we arrived and nothing was too much trouble. Excellent service at all times. The food was delicious and we were constantly asked if we wanted more of anything. Yes it may be a little pricey but with out a doubt worth every penny! Loved every moment!
