The hotel is well located just a few steps from the beach thru a cute beach access pathway. The staff is very friendly and go beyond expectations to serve you in a very pleasant, genuine way. The food is great too, so you don't need to search for much, everything is right at your hotel. If you need any extra... More

The staff is fabulously friendly, the food delicious and tasty and the yoga/pilates studio impeccable!! The air conditioned studio is great for mid day workouts, and Grande is such a great chilled out beach for some morning classes. A... More

Surfing is fantastic just a few short steps from the hotel, the restaurant is amazing and the recent new additions they've added to the hotel only make this place better.

My adult family and I spent several days at the Ripjack Inn this past Christmas. The staff were very laid back yet helped us whenever we asked (in particular when my wife got stung by a scorpion while we were out and about).

Spent five days at the Ripjack Inn in Playa Grande for a surfing trip. Playa Grande is a really small town without alot going on.

This hotel is amazing! On holiday we are supposed to slow down and unwind, right? We've seen pretty birds from the restaurant and monkeys nearby.
