Everything about our stay was top notch. Great pool, hot tub, and beach right there.
Our room was nice, clean, and spacious.
The gym was clean and provided what I needed.
My friend and stayed from Thursday to Monday for a girls trip.
There are 3 bars, a restaurant, and a night club. We only ever ate breakfast at the restaurant, which was a Buffett; it had a wide selection and was really good. The bars sold food but mostly fried food. The chicken tacos were decent. The drinks were good and seemed a reasonable price especially for a resort.
A 1-man band usually plays late afternoon at the stage on the beach for a couple of hours followed by a band and dj till about 2am. Tables to sit and eat/ drink. Dance floor. Definitely a party atmosphere. Dance club is more hip-hop.
There is a fantastic Mexican restaurant nearby - 1 to 2 minute walk away; as well as a mini grocery with a lot of fresh food and a liquor store with great pricing. Also a gas station that stays open all night is across the street.
Shepherd's is kid- friendly to a point. There were kids who had a lot of fun at the pool and beach but you weren't surrounded by them. Kids were in the pool till around 9p and since the pool is seperate (for the most part) from the bars/ stage they weren't effected by it. Not much kid stuff to do directly around resort but a 10 minute walk or a few minute free cab ride and you are at the pier where all the action is.
