The property was perfectly located. We rented a one bedroom apartment and it had everything we needed. Clean tidy and comfortable. We requested a mattress topper as bed was a little hard and they gave us one with no problem. Breakfast was very nice and plentiful. Dinner in the restaurant was very nice with a varied menu suitable for vegetarians and vegans also. Unfortunately the week we were there the spa was closed but we were compensated with free breakfast that we thought was very generous. I would definable go back, the location the safety of the property and the staff made it a very pleasant stay.

Only one negative. more lighting is needed on the pathways to see the numbers on the apartments.

White Shell Beach Villas is a fantastic place to stay being walking distance to two great beaches and local restaurant's. The accommodation itself was spotless, comfortable and quiet. The Breakfast buffet was good with options for all tastes. Recommend using the facilities, the small gym was perfect for my teenage son and myself. The tennis court was great fun in the one morning we had some cloud. Although we only used the pool one evening it could be deeper, but on the flipside perfect for young families. A boat trip to see the Benagil caves is a must, avoid the big boats. The best trip to be had is from the Senhora da Rocha beach. Recommended restaurant's are Tasca26, Vila de Italia - both excellent. The team at White Shell provided amazing support when asked and we will be back again some time in the future.

Lovely pool area including pool bar and lunch service, helpful friendly staff, beautiful large apartments with modern style and fully equipped, flowering well-maintained gardens, great location and short walk to beach, free underground parking, great breakfast, massage, tennis, paddle tennis, free use of bikes… they have thought of everything!

Guests reserving sunbeds around the pool with towels and then leaving the area for hours. Unsupervised children screaming in the inside pool area. The breakfast was understaffed with food running out and tables not being cleared quickly enough. The price per night was quite high.

The resort was amazing! we spent a few night at the white shell beach villas and enjoyed every second. The staff could not do enough for us. it was our first wedding anniversary and we spoiled! We had massages at the wellness centre . lovely swimming pools, jacuzzi and steam room. We had a special surprise of a bottle of wine given to us to celebrate! we were also allowed to bring our dog who also had a fantastic time! we didn’t want to leave ! we could WhatsApp the staff for drinks at the pool or use a buzzer. absolutely amazing! We will be coming back ! Thank you 🙏

The location of the accommodation was perfect when in accessing the waters. We were able to walk to Praia de Nossa Senhora da Rocha. It is a small but quiet beach area. There are also multiple amazing restaurants nearby, very accessible by foot.

The location was great for the beach. However, we needed to book a cab or an uber multiple times when going out to the city. There were also unfortunately quite a lot of seagulls in the outdoor swimming pool. Apart from these aspects, we for sure enjoyed our stay and the facilities were nice and clean + beautiful villa.

An exceptional experience filled with beauty, attentive service, and great amenities. We were visiting from Australia and the accommodation, surroundings and outstanding staff made our holiday in Portugal truly memorable. I highly recommend White Shell Beach Resort for a remarkable getaway.

The only area that fell short of my expectations was the gym facilities. I would have preferred the gym to open early and to have more equipment.

Breakfast was delicious: a fabulous spread, all perfectly prepared - a great start to each day. Our apartment was spacious, super clean with peaceful decor and well-equipped kitchen. I particularly loved our garden with its creative planting: a wonderful place to sit, read, relax and enjoy the sunshine. The pool area is very attractive, the gym small but well-equipped and the tennis court well-kept. The meals in the restaurant were superb, very tasty and great service. The free e-bikes were fun and helpful - we hadn't hired a car so we used the bikes to whizz up to the supermarket and into town to get supplies and have a look around.

Nothing to dislike. White Shells is a quiet, family resort so not a good choice if you want a lively holiday.

White Shells Beach Villas was a lovely oasis away from the bustle of the beaches very near to the property. The villas were very spacious and spotless. They had excellent amenities and lovely decor. We loved staying in the room! The wifi was excellent, the flat screen tv was very good with a wide range of channels in English. The pool and spa area is lovely, but we didn't get into the pool that often as the water was pretty cold! :-) We only had a few meals in the restaurant, but they were absolutely fine. We had two lunches there, and if there was one small complaint, it was that it took a little too long for the food to come, but that is a very small point. The breakfast buffet was lovely which we enjoyed a few times. We also very much enjoyed using the tennis and padel courts. The location of the property is excellent and very close to the nearby beaches. It is also a short drive from Benagil and Carvoeiro which are must visits. We will definitely come back. Thank you White Shells!

I included in the previous question, but it was that the food for lunch was just a little slow in coming out. That is, however, a very small point of complaint as it didn't have any effect on our enjoyment of the property.
