We were very happy with the property, the staff, and the amenities. We were very annoyed with extent of the loud music into the late evening preventing sleeping, and normal conversation. If you could reduce sound after 10-11, or stop it completely after 12, that would be better

Staff are super friendly. You can walk to a lot of places and the private beach was wonderful. Room was clean. Only thing I will ask them to change is the room towels, they are super scratchy and the same with the washcloths and hand towels. Other than that, it was a wonderful experience.

Everything was great! Noisy poolside due to the live band but you have to expect that as it is a party hotel/resort if you don’t like it, you get a room on the other side of the building. Everything was wonderful except the towels and washcloths were like sandpaper. They could definitely invest in new towels.

I loved the daily live entertainment. It’s the main reason I stay here. However, communication from staff was not great. Was never told about happy hour or breakfast buffet. Prices for drinks were all over the place from bar to bar on the resort. There was no consistency. Because of the construction happening I think the breakfast buffet should have been complimentary for guest for the inconvenience and annoyance of all the construction noises which were very irritating. Not what you want when trying to relax on vacation.

LOUD, LOUD, LOUD !! This hotel has a night club that plays LOUD music Every Night from 10 pm to 2:00 am. Our room was located on the 4th floor and the music vibrated our hotel walls and shook the floor Every Night, Mon- Friday! Then the drunk guest would walk up and down the halls yelling and slamming doors. We NEVER SLEPT all week!!! The room walls are very thin and you can hear all your neighbors talking, shutting cupboard doors and kids yelling. The hotel is beautiful. You have to valet park your car every time, there's no parking lot or parking ramp. The hotel is clean and rooms are very big. It's just VERY LOUD EVERY NIGHT !!! I would never stay here again, and I travel a lot.

Thank you for your review. We appreciate your feedback and apologize our live entertainment was not immediately brought to your attention when browsing our page. We advise to anyone looking for a quiet room to reserve one of our Island View rooms as they are on the opposite side of the band and a separate building from the nightclub. We hope to see you again!

I like the place, pool is nice and warm enough. Very close to the beach. Beautiful beach and the service from the bar was good. We had live music every night and it was good to entertain the whole family. The room was okey, nothing special, it was silent because we were facing the street on the 6th floor. I’d stay again.

While the resort is geared toward adults, my two young kids had a great time. The pool was warm, the beach access was easy (along with the de-sanding after). Really appreciated the kitchenette. But the live music was the highlight - as an avid concert-goer, it really made the experience more fun and relaxing for me and my kids were tearing up the dance floor in the evening.

Great property with live entertainment. Drinks in the bar area were pricey. An evening by the pool for two dinners, 2 beers and 2 drinks was just over $100 with tip. Nice pool, although it was too cool to swim. Ridiculously complicated remote control for the TV. Took us about 30 minutes to figure it out! A call to the front desk for help that never arrived. Towels were very rough and scratchy, but room was clean, recently remodeled, and had a nice kitchen set up. Front desk staff was very friendly during check in/out. Beach was not walkable at the hotel itself, but it is a short walk down to Pier 60, which is a beautiful park and walkable beach.

The best thing this resort has going for it is the STAFF, the location. We stayed in the Gulf tower which is undergoing construction. It was extremely noisy, the fire alarm went off 3 times, including 2am one morning, the flooring being installed and no direction where to go from out of the elevator, the banging of and emptying of dumpsters at 4:30am, the night club pumping until 2:30AM and inconsistancy of hours with the Tiki Bar by the pool The food at the Tiki Bar was excellent!!! But you never knew when they were to be open. There is music every day at the Tiki Bar on the beach and good music too with the same delicious food. No consistency at all. The Valet Staff, the Reception Staff are all wonderful and an example of customer service. Due to the construction and the noise, lack of safety precautions around the construction I feel was very poor.

We needed to use an e-credit from airline before it expired a decided to go to Tampa/Clearwater and after a short search we chose Shephard's Beach Resort. Construction is being done and we weren't sure were to enter because of lack of signs. We went down to the Tiki bar and sat there without being waited on so we left and went across street to get a drink and eat. It was to cold to enjoy the beach and it didn't cost extra to park . I don't know if there is much to do without leaving the property although there was a band that played until 2am Sunday morning making it hard for those of us who prefer to sleep. I will not be back to this property but it might be a good place for someone else.
