My husband and I stayed here for 2 of our 7 night vacay in Costa Rica Guanacaste region. We stayed in the brand new rooms/suites by the pool which were beautifully decorated, in a minimalistic yet comfortable way. Right up my alley. My hubbie surfed the break which is located right at the nature trail across the street to the... More

Ripjack is a very beautiful hotel in a wonderful location. Imediate access to the beach, bar and restuarnt on top of the rooms and very helpful with planning excursions. A few downfalls, the kitchen was right above our room so we heard people talking, walking, dropping things. Also the beds were a bit uncomfortable. There were a few times local... More

My girlfriend and I arrived in Playa Grande at sunset. We were blown away by how big and gorgeous this beach was. To make things even more perfect, the RipJack Inn is only 30 feet from the beach! We originally began our trip about an hour north of playa grande. It was terrible. So, with some Googling we found and... More

A tastefully designed hotel with access to surf and sand. If you want to stand a chance of seeing giant leatherback turtles laying their eggs, this is a great place to stay. The staff are friendly. The rooms are very clean and the interior decor has an Asian ambience. There is no shortage of advice if you want a guided... More

My husband and I stayed there over Christmas & New Years and loved it there. The hotel staff, owners Annie, Dave & manager Nubia & Andy make it a comfortable and relaxing atmosphere. They booked a car for us, answered any of our questions and booked zip lining. Thanks Nubia. This hotel & staff are top quality. It was nice... More

We didn't stay here, but had dinner at the restaurant one night. Staff couldn't be more friendly and had a delicious dinner. I'm veg and appreciated the options and yummy meal. It was one of their sushi nights, which my boyfriend had and he really enjoyed. A little overpriced, but was a solid dinner for this little beach town... More

Pros - I am a big food lover who lives in New Orleans, and I gotta say the food here is absolutely legit. Anything with fish is a can't-miss. Quiet little town, great service, cheap beer at the bar. And I learned how to surf. Cons - Some people complain online about the noise in the rooms under the restaurant.... More
