Boutique Surf Hotel RipJack Inn

The restaurant at Ripjacks is hands down one of our favorite parts of staying in PG. They have a phenomenal happy hour with great prices on some fantastic cocktails and small bites, and the food we had was delicious as well. We were there with a group of 9 ladies and had wonderful service from Olga. Stephanie waited on a few of us the second time we showed up for happy hour, and she did an amazing job as well. The spicy mango marg is one of my all time favorite drinks! 😍 We have not yet stayed in a room there but the grounds are lovely and intimate. They are responsive via WhatsApp which is really wonderful for planning purposes. I highly recommend checking them out while in PG!

Ripjack is the most ideal location for early morning beach walks and sunset surf sessions. The restaurant has a great menu with delicious, fresh, reasonably prized smoothies, cocktails and meals. The studio rooms under the yoga space are awkwardly shaped and a bit noisy if you are located by the road. Otherwise, it’s a super chill, clean, comfy stay.

My mom & I stayed here for 5 days and it was so so lovely! Peaceful and relaxing away from the crowds of Tamarindo. If you’re looking for somewhere to unwind and just chill this is it. The restaurant is also amazing and has great food! The beach is literally a 2 min walk from the hotel. Highly recommend staying here if you want to leave relaxed and happy!

This place is great. Definitely the best option in Playa Grande by far. The staff is so kind and on top of everything. The location is perfect. It’s right at the entrance to the beach (which is absolutely stunning and has awesome waves). Food is great. BANGING happy hour from 4pm-6pm every day. Half priced drinks and amazing food deals. Pool is small, but really nice and relaxing. Beach volleyball court right next to the bar which is a plus. Overall, I highly recommend this place to anyone. I will definitely be coming back!

We didn’t stay at Rip Jack Inn, but I had to leave a review because the owner was absolutely incredible. She helped us plan our wedding and went far above and beyond — coordinating the flowers, photographer, and cake, and even showing up at our VRBO on the day to make sure everything ran smoothly.||There was also live music at their outdoor restaurant, which was absolutely lovely and added to the magic of the experience. Her kindness, organization, and genuine care made our wedding day truly special and stress-free. I can’t recommend her highly enough.

We stayed two nights here and have stayed here before. This time was an exceptional experience. The room was ready when we arrived. The staff was super friendly and attentive. They even accommodated us with a special request near the end that capped off the experience with great vibes. They had an employee named Carlos who was very helpful and friendly as well. Both him and Nubia deserve recognition from their bosses because they were truly great. (Also the cleaning staff was very awesome and deserve a mention) The best feature of this hotel is the short walking distance to the beach. HUGE plus for convenient location

Exceptional food and service! After multiple meals here we are stunned at the seller operation they run. Alicia was our server and was on top of it along with everyone else. Drinks are top notch and we had our best meals of the trip here. You won’t be disappointed!

Dishonest business! They overcharged us by $1-2 on each of our happy hour drinks. When we politely pointed this out, the manager tried to made some excuse about it has to be that way because of the exchange rate or something…. Even though both the menu and receipt had the price listed in USD.
