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.

Living the dream
We had a wonderful mini vacation spent with family at Shepards Beach Resort. been there many times and enjoyed the area and hanging out at the resort. There are lots of things to do in Clearwater. The nightlife at the resort is a happening thing and tons of people if events are going on, sometimes a little loud depending on which side of the resort your room is, we got lucky this time and got a street-side room. The only thing I wish they would change is the closing pool area time until 10 pm instead of 9 pm we enjoyed relaxing in the pool and spa in the evening listening to the music. The use of tumblers with lids out by the pool would also be a great change, that way you can keep stuff out of your drinks.

Grounds are clean and well maintained and the location is convenient to walk to the public beach. Highly recommend!

The pictures presented on the website were deceiving. The view from the room was not the pool side as depicted. It's more like a Speedway gas station and a miniature golf course. Also, I didn't like the fact of having to pay to use the resort's beach chairs and umbrellas. Not happy paying resort fees for a pool I didn't use either. I think what I paid was steep for what it was.

We were so happy with our stay at Shepard’s. The nightly music entertainment was great. The staff was amazing all the time. Especially Todd the bartender at the pool side bar! Everyone was so friendly and helpful. We traveled on the trolley most of the time but Uber was very reasonably priced. The only negative about our stay is that the water in the room doesn’t get cold at all. It’s warm if not hot all the time. Also the bars at night sort of shame you if you don’t tip them a high amount. They ring a very obnoxious bell when someone tips large. Other than that amazing time!!

Overall I really liked my stay. The front desk ladies were nice and the rooms themselves were quiet. I would say it’s definitely more of a “party” resort or atleast on a holiday weekend/ weekend with the djs and bands playing. So if that’s not your thing then just be aware of it. Super convenient with rentals right there on the water and located within walking distance of a lot of things as well.

Our mattress had to be replaced due to being worn out but was replaced quickly. Wall in the shower was rotted due to water damage. At the price of the rooms we expected a breakfast but not even coffee and muffin. We had to beg for the use of a luggage rack to move our bags to and from our room. Beach front but they don’t tell you that you have to rent the chair for $30.00 a day. We will not stay here again!!

Racist Resort
Valet Service was racist. Ask for a cart cause i was parked in handicap cause wife is handicap & sister had a bad shoulder. valet said i need to check out immediately if i want a luggage cart & would not give me one. One in our group was a white guy and right after me he asked for one and they gave it to him immediately. We questioned the valet and they said we had to give him one because he complained to the front desk first which was a lie because he is our friend & we know he didn't go to front desk first. Not interested in staying at a place that is racist and wants to nickel and dime you for everything.

According to the staff explanation it was an Expedia mistake not made by them. The hotel location is excellent, the beach behind the hotel is small and not too good but it is ok.
