Also just steps away from the beach! ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/6f295bb8-efa3-4ec6-98ef-a3c9a6385f27-1767008164620.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/128d334c-4b7c-41c1-9303-c0d4dbbc4168-1767008164945.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/8e943c57-ab1f-46fe-96c2-84619fa4dbda-1767008163213.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/48c33218-4148-4c10-91f0-d6669cea2942-1767008162744.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Carrie Stayed 7 nights in Dec 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jeffrey Nov 17, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities We have stayed at Rip Jacks before and are thrilled to have return.

We were a family of two adults, two children ages, 10 and 12 and one senior. The location could not have been better. It was right beside the beach. There were lots of restaurants nearby, and the hotel restaurant was excellent. Only downsides were that breakfast was not included, there were a few towels provided, and there was no body lotion. There were several ants in the bathroom, but that is probably unavoidable given the location. The staff was very, very helpful and accommodating. The pools were small, but perfect. Our children loved seeing the iguanas and lizards on the property and really enjoyed the ping-pong table. ##### Eliane Stayed 6 nights in Dec 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Nicole Sep 12, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Fantastic restaurant on the premises.

We stayed in a bungalow with our family of 5 and it was very comfortable and had a private tropical feel. The food at the resort was delicious but expensive. My kids had a great time surfing in the area. ##### Tawny Stayed 1 night in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Mark Dec 17, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Awesome stay! The accommodations, staff, vibe were all great. ##### Mark Stayed 7 nights in Nov 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Navil Jan 2, 2026 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities Disliked: Property conditions & facilities Overall, our stay was pleasant, particularly regarding the room, cleanliness, and general comfort, which were all at a good standard. That said, the food and beverage services were clearly the weakest part of the experience. As a Costa Rican who has lived in the United States for many years and returned home on vacation with my wife, I must say that the quality of the coffee was surprisingly poor for a hotel in Costa Rica, a country internationally recognized for its excellent coffee. Additionally, the food did not meet expectations. The gallo pinto, in particular, was not representative of the traditional Costa Rican dish, neither in preparation nor in flavor. For visitors hoping to experience authentic local cuisine, this may be disappointing. Finally, the prices for food were quite high considering the overall quality offered. With some improvements in the culinary experience and a better focus on local authenticity, this hotel could significantly enhance the value of its services. ##### Navil Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Deon Apr 30, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Clean, close to beach, food was great ##### Deon Stayed 3 nights in Feb 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Elizabeth Jan 22, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Hotel was nice, great grounds with multiple pool options.

The rooms are clean, spacious with hot water and cool air conditioning. The restaurant/bar area has a fabulous happy hour with tasty food and refreshing beverages. You are a minute walk to one of the most beautiful beaches in all of Costa Rica. Monkeys and exotic birds are plentiful on the property. We have stayed on this property on several occasions and will continue to due so in the future. ##### Richard Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Vishal Dec 26, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Our stay at Rip Jack Inn was absolutely wonderful! The staff was incredibly kind and helpful, and the food at the restaurant was outstanding. We especially loved the chicken nachos and happy hour drinks. The beach is just a one-minute walk from the property, which was perfect. We initially planned to stay for two nights but ended up extending for two more because of the amazing hospitality. Huge thanks to the incredible staff and owners for making our visit so special! ##### Vishal Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Richard Nov 12, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Convenient to the beach.

Breakfast was good but was not hot it was like they took it off of a buffet. ##### Mark Stayed 1 night in Dec 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller Feb 3, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### 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!

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. ##### Gary Stayed 4 nights in Sep 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kristen Jul 23, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities 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. ##### Kristen Stayed 1 night in Apr 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Judith Feb 1, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The people were all very nice, very willing to help if there was any questions.

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. ##### Kathini Stayed 3 nights in Mar 2024 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Bahia del Sol Beach Front Boutique Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Potrero-Hotels-Bahia-Del-Sol-Beach-Front-Boutique-Hotel.h1190047.Hotel-Information) > > [Condovac la Costa](https://www.expedia.ca/Playa-Hermosa-Hotels-Condovac-La-Costa.h12534581.Hotel-Information) > > [Conchal Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Brasilito-Hotels-Conchal-Hotel.h6139888.Hotel-Information) > > [Toro Blanco Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Coco-Hotels-Toro-Blanco-Resort.h15241531.Hotel-Information) > > [Secrets Papagayo - Adults Only - All inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Papagayo-Hotels-Secrets-Papagayo-Adults-Only.h10650279.Hotel-Information) > > [El Mangroove Papagayo, Autograph Collection](https://www.expedia.ca/Papagayo-Hotels-El-Mangroove-Papagayo.h6052327.Hotel-Information) > > [Casa Chameleon Hotel Las Catalinas - Adults Only](https://www.expedia.ca/Las-Catalinas-Hotels-Casa-Chameleon-Hotel-Las-Catalinas-Adults-Only.h17239217.Hotel-Information) > > [Pacifico Resort Condominiums](https://www.expedia.ca/Coco-Hotels-Pacifico-Resort-Condominiums.h15992557.Hotel-Information) > > [Four Seasons Resort Peninsula Papagayo, Costa Rica](https://www.expedia.ca/Papagayo-Hotels-Four-Seasons-Resort-Costa-Rica.h984916.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Villa del Sueño](https://www.expedia.ca/Playa-Hermosa-Hotels-Hotel-Villa-Del-Sueno.h19326374.Hotel-Information) > > [Santarena Hotel at Las Catalinas](https://www.expedia.ca/Las-Catalinas-Hotels-Santarena-Hotel-At-Las-Catalinas.h30440211.Hotel-Information) > > [Margaritaville Beach Resort Playa Flamingo](https://www.expedia.ca/Playa-Flamingo-Hotels-Margaritaville-Beach-Resort-Playa-Flamingo.h189539.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Riu Palace Costa Rica - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/El-Ocotal-Hotels-Hotel-Riu-Palace-Costa-Rica-All-Inclusive.h5431338.Hotel-Information) > > [Playa Lagarto Eco Development](https://www.expedia.ca/Marbella-Hotels-Playa-Lagarto-Eco-Development.h19979634.Hotel-Information) > > [Occidental Papagayo - Adults Only - All inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Panama-Beach-Hotels-Occidental-Papagayo-Adults-Only-All-Inclusive.h659642.Hotel-Information) > > [Reserva Conchal Resort - Carao Complex](https://www.expedia.ca/Brasilito-Hotels-Ocean-View-Luxury-Penthouse-Carao-A14.h74567119.Hotel-Information) > > [Planet Hollywood Costa Rica by Royalton, An Autograph Collection All-Inclusive Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Papagayo-Hotels-Planet-Hollywood-Beach-Resort-Costa-Rica-All-Inclusive.h21882911.Hotel-Information) > > [Zen Garden Tamarindo - Adults Only](https://www.expedia.ca/Tamarindo-Hotels-Zen-Garden-Tamarindo.h39165706.Hotel-Information) > > [Flamingo Marina Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Playa-Flamingo-Hotels-Flamingo-Marina-Resort.h5164682.Hotel-Information) > > [CC Beach Front Papagayo All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Papagayo-Hotels-Casa-Conde-Beach-Front-Hotel.h1333932.Hotel-Information) > > [Villas Sol Beach Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Playa-Hermosa-Hotels-Villas-Sol-Hotel-And-Beach-Resort-All-Inclusive.h1810654.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Riu Guanacaste - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/El-Ocotal-Hotels-Riu-Guanacaste-All-Inclusive.h2818771.Hotel-Information) > > [Bahia Pez Vela Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/El-Ocotal-Hotels-Bahia-Pez-Vela-Resort.h1118962.Hotel-Information) > > [Upscale Two-Bedroom Condo in Playa Flamingo with Beautiful Oceanfront Views](https://www.expedia.ca/Cabo-Velas-Hotels-Beautiful.h34095106.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Bosque del Mar, Playa Hermosa](https://www.expedia.ca/Playa-Hermosa-Hotels-Hotel-Bosque-Del-Mar.h113407.Hotel-Information) > > [Dunama Ocean View Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Playa-Flamingo-Hotels-Paradise-Flamingo-Beach-Hotel.h5125672.Hotel-Information) > > [Casas del Toro Playa Flamingo](https://www.expedia.ca/Playa-Flamingo-Hotels-Casas-Del-Toro-Playa-Flamingo.h8981765.Hotel-Information) > > [The Palms At Coco Beach](https://www.expedia.ca/Coco-Hotels-The-Palms-At-Coco-Beach.h4434186.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Villa Del Sol](https://www.expedia.ca/Coco-Hotels-Hotel-Villa-Del-Sol.h16081830.Hotel-Information)
