Lovely 2 bedroom apartment, friendly staff, beautiful area. Gets a bit dark in the evening walking about the resort. Just as we left though, there were workmen putting in additional lighting so this should be much better in the future. Overall, we're very pleased we booked here

We were over the moon with the facility. The concierges were so helpful with dining and shopping suggestions. The food at the restaurant may be the best we have had in years!! The room was perfect with a washing machine we didn't even use, but would have if needed. The beach is a short distance away and it's incredible! There are actually two separate areas with a tunnel in between....so fun, so beautiful and amazing. The pool and jacuzzi at the facility were amazing. I really should call it a resort! We would gladly stay there again in a heartbeat!!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at White Shell Beach Villas. The reception staff were friendly and welcoming throughout, responding promptly to any queries we had and being very accommodating to all our needs. The resort was extremely family friendly, and we were provided with a high chair for meals and a travel cot for our young daughter. The facilities and service were excellent, with a spacious villa which was consistently cleaned to a high standard. The pool facilities were also impressive, providing a relaxing, ambient environment. We would highly recommend White Shell Beach Villas to anyone visiting the Algarve, and we hope to visit again in future!

When we arrived in the Algarve we were ready to relax and this was the perfect way to end our Portugal vacation. Our suite backed onto the pool area which we enjoyed immensely. It was convenient to have the pool bar available as well. The suite was like a huge apartment that felt very fancy with so much space and many amenities. Amazing restaurants and the coast was a quick walk away. The Bengal caves were a short drive away which we visited. I would recommend this resort in a minute.

Stayed a week just before high season started. The first thing that struck me about this place was the beautiful complex. There is a spacious indoor car park and the staff drive these cute little electric golf buggies around to help with luggage. The staff were great, very welcoming and the customer service was amazing. Then I noticed the swarm of sea gulls in the pool. In fact they were all over the sun loungers and on some apartment balconies. There’s droppings everywhere. I’ts clearly been a problem since this place opened. They have a man with a hawk to try to deter them but they keep coming back. This makes it a health and safety risk despite how often the pool is cleaned. The outdoor pool is also freezing cold. The indoor pool is smaller than it looks in the pictures, but it was a surprisingly very nice temperature. It’s full of young kids though, understandably because they don’t want to be in the outdoor pool. There should really be a rule about no kids after 7pm, so it can actually serve as a spa. The apartment was one of the best I’ve ever stayed in. The kitchen has everything! Modern high quality AEG appliances - an oven, microwave, hob, full fridge and freezer, even washing machine. Two things frustrated me - for a building constructed in 2021, there is not a usb port in site, so had to charge my phone very slowly from the tv. The TV - it’s astonishing no smart tv.
