The reason for only 4 star, was the restaurant. Menu Options were limited. No changes or specials all week. Didn’t see any Costa Rica authentic food. What we did order from the menu, was delicious.

The RipJack Inn was exactly what we needed. I was traveling alone with 2 teens and we stayed in one of the suites and it couldn’t have been more perfect. The close proximity to the beach, the pool just steps from our suite’s door, the excellent food at the restaurant, the cleanliness and comfort of our room with ceiling fans & beds that slept well made it a perfect stay. Not to mention the friendly staff and activity booked for atv rides was above and beyond what we’d hope for in terms of fun and adventure.. it was the perfect escape. We’ll definitely be back. Many thanks for a wonderful trip!

The restaurant was closed and we woke up to loud drilling at 6:40 in the morning. Also the room is in need of a serious deep clean because it was really dirty.

Great boutique hotel! I’ve stayed at this hotel on two different trips. It is perfectly located a short walk to the beach. Rooms are clean and cozy, although it is loud b/c you’re close together on a small property and it is especially loud if you are below the restaurant. They’ve added new units, which are really nice. Pools & grounds are lovely & clean. Best part is delicious restaurant for smoothies in AM & yummy dinners w live entertainment.

We really enjoyed our stay in the Villas at the Rip Jack Inn. The villa area was private, with only 4 villas and a pool just for that area. Very short walk to the beach. The food at the restaurant was good but expensive. We had a mechanical issue and they came to fix it right away.

Loved it!
We had a great stay! Our room was under the kitchen but quieted down by 9:30. The bathroom was tiny but for the price we paid we’d stay again! The staff was incredible from the office to the grounds crew.

Perfect beach get-away!
My wife and I with a few friends visited RipJack in Playa Grande for a weekend get-away. It was perfect for what we were looking for. The beach is beautiful. The resort is clean and it has a safe feel. The restaurant has delicious food at regular resort prices. And the restaurant staff is great especially Renaldo. We will be staying there again.
