Hotel seems nice but rooms aren’t

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.

Food was excellent, but at California prices 😁

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.

The property had a nice layout and was an easy 2 minute walk to the beach. The restaurant and bar were good and had several options, but was a high price.

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.

The people were all very nice, very willing to help if there was any questions. They all spoke good English, a lot better than my Spanish.

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.

We loved our stay at rip Jack! Walk over to the beach or chill by the pool, everything was so close. The rooms were clean and had everything we needed. The bartenders upstairs - Filepe ronaldo and Adriana became our best friends! I would highly recommend staying here for your stay in grande!

Surfer beach- access to beach was perfect! Small warm pools- super helpful and kind staff- restaurant on site is ok- parking- they rent beach chairs and boogie boards- cute shop items- and close to some amazing restaurants!! Would stay here again. Unfortunately we had a bathroom with a leaking toilet- EW! At night we heard plumbing pipes ever time anyone in the building flushed their toilets.

Property is in a nice location. 1 minute walk from the beach. Rooms are nice but very simple and i found a bit expensive for what they are. Food at the restaurant was good but again a bit expensive for what was offered. Staff is friendly and helpful.

This place is such a no brainer:
If you love walking beaches... jackpot,
If you surfing... JACKPOT,
If you love sunsets ... damn it just doesn't get any better,
If you eat... bring 2 stomachs,
if you chill... ohmmmm-g
AND if you want all that in one spot, surrounded by staff that makes you feel like family then this is it.

If you've ever been to Costa Rica you'll know that apart from dramatic seascapes and wonderful people, it's hot and overrun by 'los insectos'. After several trips to CR we can say that the Rip Jack Inn has the coolest and cleanest rooms we have experienced,no insects or insect repellent smell. It is a stones throw from the spectacular Playa Grande beach great for surfing, running and walking. The rooms are nestled around two small pools and there is another cluster underneath the restaurant with the stand alone bungalow room nearby. There is a yoga studio with daily classes. Each room has its own decor and feel but they all have the essentials, mini fridge, TV(Netflix etc..) wifi, aircon. We were wowed by the restaurant with its fresh ingredients and the incredible staff that was able to accommodate our special dietary requirements for our full stay. This is something that very few places even in our hometown can do. About the staff.This is more like a family, we left with several hugs; the restaurant and front desk personnel went above and beyond to be sure that we were happy; great restaurant recommendations, arranged transport and would always ask us with a smile if there was anything we needed, Beach towels and chairs that you can take to the beach are supplied, you can rent boogie boards and beach tents from Frijoles, a nearly surf shop, online or in person. Special shout out to Josue, Renaldo, Sonia, Irena, Eliam, Angie, Nubia and Vladmir. We will be back.

The staff were very helpful when we found we had left a cosmetic bag in our room when we left. I liked the multiple pools and outside shower, as well as the proximity tothe beach. It would have been nice to have a mini fridge in our rooms, and ours had the tiniest batherooms we have tried to shower and dry off in. Lots of towels.

It felt like it was off the beaten path without being far away. Perfectly close to the beach with a magical walk through a small forest. Not crowded which gave extra touch of feeling like your with friends. Proof of uniqueness, same guests have been coming here consistently for 10 years. If you're looking for a get away that isn't overcrowded, I highly recommend this. Food, drinks, team were all great!

Loved that this was walkable to the beach. No chairs or furniture available at beach unless you provide your own, however it was still a great place to walk and swim. Pools at this hotel were great and the restaurant had good food and a great vibe.
4.0
Rooms were good and clean.
Restaurant was also good with good menu choices good value for money.
Just outside the hotel: Messy and dirty surroundings so first impression not so good but perhaps this is not RIPJACK Inn’s fault.

We came to Playa Grande to visit friends there and they recommended Rip Jack Inn. We found the Rip Jack to be a perfect place for us. It has a laid back surfer vibe and is only 75 yards from the beach. The restaurant was great - breakfast, lunch and dinner were delicious and service was friendly and professional. Office staff were helpful and courteous as well. We would stay here again. Recommended.

Muy buena atención y super cerca de la playa. Yo fuí con mi perrita y estuvo súper bien. El restaurante es muy rico también. El hotel está en una ubicación media y cómoda, a 20 min de flamingo y de tamarindo, así que es ideal para moverse por conchal, tamarindo, flamingo y otras playas vírgenes de la zona.
