What guests think

At Shephard's Beach Resort, travellers highlight a lively, entertainment‑focused stay with daily live music and a nightclub, balanced by beachfront views and a convenient, walkable location, but with late‑night noise that can make early sleep difficult.

Rooms are generally clean with very comfortable beds and striking Gulf views, though several guests describe dated decor and maintenance issues such as malfunctioning TVs, hot water, or fixtures. Guests enjoy the lively pool scene and on‑site bars, but the small, shelly beach often has paid chair rentals and jet‑ski activity, and valet parking is commonly required. Service is frequently praised—front desk staff like Toni and Regina earn repeated shout‑outs—yet some report brusque interactions or slow restaurant service, and food quality ranges from great to average. If you’re sensitive to nighttime activity, consider requesting a street‑side room when booking.

Overall we had a good week at the property. It was too loud for us. The music from the nightclub and live band vibrated our floor several nights (4th floor-tower) and made it hard to sleep. The beds themselves were great which is very important to us. All staff we encountered went above and beyond. The beach was ok. Very small and populated by jet skis that stay there waiting to be rented. The beach isn’t big enough for half of the water to be taken up by jet skis. One day locals even stopped by on their jet skis and it was worse. If you are looking for a party, this might be your place to stay. It wasn’t ours but can see how it would appeal to some.

The staff was friendly and accommodating. The resort was beautiful especially the pool! The beach was right there and the views were beautiful! I didn’t realize the music however would go to 130 in the morning. It was extremely loud in our pool view room. I would absolutely stay there again just maybe not have a pool view room if my flight out was an early one.

Clean hotel. Nice rooms. Nice pool and show stage. Good nightclub. Staff isnt very efficient. But the worst is the acces to the beach is almost blocked by rental jetskies, and they have a company that charges you $35 dollars a day for an umbrella and 2 chairs. And they call themselves a Resort...

Stayed at this resort for one night. I liked it a lot, but I did not like my room. Since I booked at the last minute I wasn’t able to pick and choose so I got a standard room. It seriously needs upgrades to the bathroom and floors. Floors were nasty and the restroom wasn’t all that clean either. Shower had hair in it and I was grossed out. I will stay again, but I will definitely be in an upgraded room. I wasn’t very comfortable with where I slept.

First of all I rarely do reviews but for this so called resort I have to.The place is understaffed, traffic as you enter the hotel as there are a bunch of cars entering to the club too. Room was dirty with an old carpet. Millipede was crawling on the wall, we freaked and checked out immediately. The mean manager refused to issue a refund of 2 nights. The people who rate this place a the club goers folks. The place is invested with bugs. No way I can advise anyone to go here!!

FANTASTIC RESORT!!! The rooms are spacious, clean , nice balconies over looking the pool, bay, and the Guif. The staff is super friendly, great maid service. There are pool side and beach side bars. David is amazing on the beach taking care of everyone’s drinks and food. There is a beachside restaurant which is excellent. There are great daily and nightly bands that play which makes this resort unique. There is also a nightclub. The beach is great … the Bay Area is nice and calm for wading or swimming in. The resort has all you need but if venturing out, it is close to shopping and restaurants. Another big plus for me was the free valet parking. Highly recommend this resort. I’ll definitely be back.

We barely slept on our nights there due to the loud music from the outside bar on the boardwalk .

Great first impression, arrived to valet parking, then into the cool of reception which has a wonderful tropical smell. Toni was warmly welcoming and helped us check in seamlessly. We could hear/see the pool area was buzzing, loud music, mix of folks (age to group size) laughing and chillaxing in the sun or shade. Our room was fabulous, clean and laid out well, with a nice balcony looking out to the gulf bay and the pool/deck. We enjoyed listening to the music from here. The live bands are good but loud, and the tiki bar gets roudy at night. The food at the tiki grill was simple and delicious. Cocktails yummy. Pool beds get filled up quickly and beach beds are extra charge, water sports also available at cost. Overall a vibrant few days that we enjoyed, however not really suitable for anyone look for a peaceful restful break. Will definitely return with a group for a fun time in future!

I didn’t feel welcomed by the front desk staff during check-in. Additionally, I didn't like that valet service was mandatory, as it meant we had to wait every time we needed our car. It was inconvenient not to have full control over where my car was or to quickly grab something from it without waiting for the valet to bring the keys. The room also had a strange smell. On the positive side, the beach was very beautiful. However, if I return to the area, I would choose a different place to stay.

This place is a hidden gem...great bars, live music all the time, and generally a relaxing social vibe. It's not directly on the Clearwater main strip, but that was nice iny opinion as it was a little quieter walijg around, but you can easily be at any of the main attractions in 5-10 minutes. If I'm ever back in Clearwater Beach, wouldn't hesitate to make this option #1

Loved the location and the pool was great. The pool bars and restaurant and entertainment was perfect. The beach is very small and does not connect to Clearwater beach.

Other than that it was a fabulous stay.

The Shephard’s Beach Resort was the perfect place to relax and unwind. We had an excellent view of the ocean from our room on the sixth floor and were able to watch the sunset each night from our balcony. The Tiki Bar area near the beach was great for food, drinks, and live music in the afternoons and evenings. There were plenty of restaurants and shops within a ten minute walk of the hotel, but you don’t have to leave the hotel if you don’t want to as they have easy access to food and drinks most of the day. The private beach was great, but unfortunately the ocean water was too cold for us to swim during our stay in February. We did, however, thoroughly enjoy the hot tub. We would highly recommend this hotel.

They had one person singing in the morning who was amazing and at night they had an entire band playing that’s extremely talented. Honestly this resort has been one of my favorite hotels. There’s many restaurants nearby as well as a lot of things to do. Jet skis were cheap and fun. Book here you won’t regret it. I’m definitely coming back. The staff was friendly and helpful

The location was perfect. They have jet ski, paddleboards and kayaks on site to rent plus beach chairs and umbrellas. The food at the tiki bar and the Cove were very good and inexpensive considering it was on site. Mixed drinks however, were not that great. Pool facing rooms also allowed you to sit on your balcony to enjoy the music and make your own beverages. The music was a definite plus. Dont miss the sunsets, they are beautiful, and there is a walking path to the Pier that starts close to the property.
