Hotel exceeded our expectations. This is a small inn, not a chain hotel. Friendly owners helped us plan our vacation after arrival, including making several phone calls which saved me driving time by determining what is open and closed in off season. Room well maintained, a couple minute walk from almost deserted beach. Restaurant very good, although night waiter seemed... more

We didn't plan on going to Playa Grande, but we are so glad we did. We had planned on staying the whole week in Tamarindo, and didn't really like it. We met a very nice older couple having dinner and they reccomened Playa Grande and the Ripjack Inn. I checked my Frommers travel guide for the phone number and to... more

Food is great. Staff is friendly. We make it a point to have dinner there. Gregory is always helpful. Dave, Annie, and little Maggie are really cool people. I enjoy surfing with Dave. more

1/3 found this review helpful

As others have noted, there are multiple false claims on the RipJack Inn web-site. "Steps" turned out to be a half a kilometer to the beach along a trail. A panoramic ocean view turned out to simply be untrue. You know which direction the ocean is in, but a quarter kilometer of bare sticks which must be green bushes during... more

Management response from
Hongity, owner

I am the owner of RipJack Inn and am responding to a review for the first time ever because this review is just completely fabricated. We were surprised to receive emails threatening us with bad publicity from this guest, as our entire staff worked hard to accommodate him and his family. No one said anything to us until the family...

Great Find

Great beach access! The pool is now open, and several hammocks near the outdoor shower. Yoga is offered a couple mornings a week. The staff were very helpful and accomodating. Rooms were simple/modern and clean, but could use some upgrades to the bathrooms and matresses. There is little room to store your suitcases. Restaurant service is very personable but Costa... more

The absolute perfect place for anyone to go for vacation. The staff is extremely friendly and helpful and the rooms are clean and well maintained. The restaurant offers a wide selection of excellent food and drinks at a very fair price. Try the calamari for sure! It's in a prime location; close enough to Tamarindo for day trips, dinner or... more

This place is great. The staff is super friendly and very helpful with coordinating activities (surfing, fishing, sailing, snorkeling, etc. ) and giving recommendations for other places to visit in Costa Rica. Almost all of them speak English and are very patient and encouraging when you try out your Spanish on them (mine is pretty bad). It is located right... more
