White Shell is a tranquil gem. A very relaxing, safe environment to unwind and enjoy time with your family. The staff are excellent, definitely 5 star customer service. Front of house, wait staff, chefs, maintenance crew - all so lovely. Apartments are beautifully designed and spacious. The beds are extremely comfortable and we all slept so well. The kitchen has everything you need including a dishwasher and washer/dryer. The food in the restaurant is delicious and well priced. Breakfast was very nice and their fresh orange juice is perfection. The breakfast chef came out every morning multiple times checking and replenishing food. He was so friendly and greeted everyone and said hello to all the children. Indoor pool is small but warm and the kids had great fun there. The outdoor pool was too cold to get into despite us having lots of sunshine and warm weather of about 23/24 degrees but it would obviously need to be a lot warmer for the pool to be enjoyed! There are a few things that need improvement such as more variety at breakfast, more balcony furniture (for the bigger apartments), the location of the spa and the seagulls around the pool are a real problem as everything is covered in poop but otherwise we had a very enjoyable experience. Porches is not a busy town and there is no ***** of shops or restaurants rather the shops and restaurants are dotted around. This type of town suited us as we wanted somewhere that wasn’t overly busy and had a relaxed atmosphere. The local beach is stunning and the walk around Igreja de Nossa Senhora da Rocha is just idyllic especially around sunset. We hired a car and travelled to some of our favourite towns nearby such as Olhos, Vilamora and carvoeiro. Zoomarine is a must if you have kids and is about 15 drive from White Shell.
