Had a great time in the Clearwater Beach area staying at Shephard's Beach Resort. The rooms are great for the price and the location is perfect. The staff was extremely helpful and friendly. more

This hotel must use one heck of a brochure photographer, because let's just say, the hotel in person doesn't do the photos justice. The front desk lady was rude. (Don't mention it being an "off season", apparently it's offensive to them.) The room was dirty. With all tile floors, sand is everywhere... meaning, get ready to sleep with it too,... more

.... you'll probably love Shepards. We didn't. While it had nice amenities -- pool, tiki bar, beach, restaurant, etc. -- place was kind of ratty. I do notice other reviews note this place has a great party atmosphere. Guess it's how you interpret that. t. If you like a bunch of butt smoking falling-down drunk adults acting like teenagers --... more

This was our second girls trip (ages 24-50) to Shephards in 8 months-when we left in December after a 4 day stay, we immediatly started planning the 2nd trip! This is a fun classy party atmosphere, with great music and fun dancing. The tiki bar has fantastic reasonably priced food and appetizers and also good drinks. The outdoor bands are... more

The musty smell in the hallways and room was nauseating. Rooms were tiny and outdated. Rugs were filthy in the hallways and common areas. The TIKI bar was the only good part. The pictures of the pool are deceiving...Don't be fooled by them... more

I had read some of the reviews here before going on the trip. I was expecting music and a party atmosphere but not all afternoon long and all evening (till 2 am on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday). The hotel staff should definitely advise people booking a room by the pool that the music is very loud (very heavy bass). I... more

After driving eight hours from GA, my 6 year old son, my teenage daughter and myself really needed a good night's sleep. Nope. There was a full blast party going on plus the tiki music, none of us could go to sleep. I called room service but the guy dismissed me saying that the manager warned us about the music... more

WOW, WHAT A PLACE. We found it to be very clean and well maintained. Employees went out of their way to help you. Cody, from the front desk gave outstanding service and helped me reserve a room with the best view and location. She is a true assett to the resort. Ask for her when you make reservations. We ate... more
