The room's luxury feel, the breakfast, the outside pool. There's a beach near but needs bit walking and there's a steep hill but it's easily accessible with the car. Nice calm area.
The hot water ran out in the middle of the shower.

Loved the hotel and its facilities. Staff were great, friendly and very helpful.
Villa was clean and modern
I thought the lunch food could be improved. It wasn't as good as I thought it would be.
9.0
Modern, relaxed, amazing staff, lovely pool.
Not enough loungers for the pool area. Maybe breakfast could have been more varied, though it was still very good.
10.0
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.

Average breakfast and really poor dinners

Service was great, many names but Tiago was a stand out. Provided good recommendations for dinning and excursions.
Pool bar service ended too early.

Nicely designed villas
Breakfast is very poor: no vegetables at all, cold eggs, and when I asked if they can prepare an omelette, they were surprised with such request and went to check in the kitchen.
Staff: they helped with the luggage when we checked in, but at checkout out no one cared.
Restaurant is overpriced and not very tasty.

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.

The free electric bikes are a genius idea. Makes popping to the shop much easier. Never change this!

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.

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 🙏

White shell villas are absolutely beautiful, very peaceful and tranquil
unfortunately during our stay the indoor pool heating was broken so we could not really enjoy swimming which was one of the main reasons we chose this accommodation in February.
