Shephard's Beach Resort

We booked a long weekend at Shephard's Beach for Valentines Day. I booked a pool view room, as the Gulf view rooms were sold out. I called the resort directly, a couple of days before arrival and spoke to April. She was so friendly and helpful and I put a request in for Gulf View in case there were any cancelations. When we got there, our room was in the perfect location. Pool view and we could still see the ocean. The band playing that weekend was amazing as well. The music didn't bother us at all while in the room. We made dinner reservations for Valentines day at The Cove Kitchen, and the food and drinks were both amazing. We will be back.....

Only stayed one night. But, wishing we had more time to stay! Super friendly staff from check in to check out! Very clean room. Delicious food and drinks. Beautiful sunset views while having dinner! The Difference band was spectacular! We will definitely be back for more fun!

We were very pleasantly surprised with our first visit to Shephard's. 10 out of 10 on all fronts. We loved the beach, the staff, the entertainment area, the cleanliness, the pool, the drinks, and the room. Attention to detail was amazing. Very welcoming people on staff indoors and out. Even though it was freezing cold outside, we still had an amazing time on New Years Eve because of the staff members. Free champagne, great music and a lively atmosphere. We didn't even mind the loud club - from the 5th floor. Had a great time for 3 nights.

As a local, I have been coming to this hotel for 20 years! Obviously, it's much nicer now due to all the beautiful upgrades! The location is perfect and there is always something fun to do. We enjoy having drinks poolside and taking a dip in the ocean. The water view rooms are my favorite and have great views as well!! To top it off, Sheppard's is also a supporter of our local school fundraiser and gives back to our community!!! If you are looking for a spot to enjoy yourself on that much needed vacation, Sheppard's is the place to be!

Overall very happy with our stay, the complaints I have are minor but feel i need to address them. 1st I was told I could not have my own drink in a safe container in the pool area? But if you buy a drink there no problem. For $400 a nite i think we should be able to have our own drinks. 2nd I was smoking a cigar along with another guy 5ft from me but I was singled out and told there was no smoking, but if I went just outside the gate (6ft away) it was OK. Just feel a little picky for the amount I'm paying to stay at the resort. That being said everything else was great! The food was very good we only ate at the premises for all our meals also bought multiple drinks which also was great! The staff were all very friendly and courteous.
