"Great location"

"The resort was very clean, easy check in and out, the staff were very welcoming, the entertainment team really made my experience even more enjoyable."

"Our review as a Canadian couple in our late 30's, no kids: What we liked: - The beach was fabulous, felt safe and secure to leave items unattended - Small boutique feel, quick walk to the restaurant and beach. Nice atmosphere and well kept. - Monkey sightings outside our door, and other cool wild life on the premise. - Friendly staff, clean rooms. - Locals gather on the beach for picnics on the holiday we were there, which made for a nice atmosphere What we didn't like: - Rooms were a little dated (beds not very comfortable, couch stained, old smart TVs not compatible with streaming apps) - Rooms didn't feel very private. - Rooms didn't feel worth what we paid. - Pool very small and can quickly fill up with 2 - 3 families. Tended to attract families with little ones - Food at the restaurant was good, although dining options are limited and the restaurant expensive (example two desserts and a drink came to $60 CAD). Overall our stay was average. It seems you're really paying for the location/beach access, as opposed to a high end hotel experience that one might expect when paying over $500 CAD a night. Food options are limited aside from the hotel, although there is another restaurant down the beach that we enjoyed. Other meals we bought to store in our room or drove into Playa Del Coco, which is about 15 min away. Highly recommend having your own vehicle if staying here."

"Excellent location in Tamarindo with amazing sunset views! The staff is very helpful and attentive, the property spotless and beautiful. The breakfast buffet is delicious!"

"We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Rip Jack inn. The front desk staff, the restaurant staff and the cleaning staff were excellent. We plan on visiting Costa Rica again and we will definitely stay at the Rip Jack!"

"Great job"

"It was very nice except someone stole our sandals from outside our door. The floors are tile and I didn’t want sand inside. Leaves a bad taste in my mouth."
