We had a great time at Shepards, and were especially pleased with the comfort, cleanliness and decor of our room (king studio) - the private balcony was an added plus! This property has everything to offer; the beach, the pool, lounge/restaurant, outdoor tiki bar, great live entertainment, and friendly staff. The location is excellent, within walking distance to shops, restaurants,... More

We recently stayed at Shephard's in January of 2012. We were hesitant based on some of the negative reviews we saw, but decided to check it out and go elsewhere if it looked to be not so nice. We checked in within an hour of our plane touching down in Tampa. We had booked the room online. It was a... More

Our room was unclean with a large hairball on the floor next to the bed. It looked like someone had cleaned their hairbrush out. Not only could we hear the band playing into the early mornings but felt the entire room vibrate. At 4:00 we were woken up to an argument and foul language. We decided to leave and checked... More

Ended up with this hotel through hotwire. If you like staying up late late night this place would be ok.

The room plan... More

My husband and I took our 20 something kids here. It was perfect, we had beach and they had night life with no worries of leaving the property. More

I can't say enough about this place. I had some vacation time that I needed to quickly burn. I opted for a week in Florida and actually reserved everything the night before arrival, including my flight and this hotel stay. Traveling solo can be very adventurous and that's exactly how this trip was. I read about the property online here... More

Rooms are clean, noise is horrible. Do not stay here if you want to get away and have a little peace & quiet. This is for the 20 year old crowd. Trouble is, they don't have the spending ability (usually) as 40+. The noise is always loud at night - no relief. Pool side is the worst. More

Nice resort but you want the Gulf View not the pool view. They were having water problems when we stayed there and were very good to us. Nice place for the young and old but the resort's bars are loud and really for the young. More

I agree totally with the previous writer! This is not even a mature adult place you want to go to relax. It is SPRING BREAK ON STERIODS! My husband and I wanted to celebrate our 33rd wedding anniversary just by relaxing and enjoying the view! We arrived Wed., love the room nice, neat and clean. Then it started that afternoon!... More
