Will, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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!

It was nice except even though they were other available rooms empty they booked this next to the maids so they started banging at 5:45 a.m. and woke us up. Breakfast was good but was not hot it was like they took it off of a buffet.

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, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

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.
Charlotte, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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!

Convenient to the beach. Clean rooms. Really good food and happy hour.
Richard, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

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.
Kathini, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

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.
Sema, 4-night trip

8/10 Very good

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.

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.
