Every meal at the restaurant was delicious… lots of options if you want to eat healthy and embrace Pura Vida vibe or indulge in a great burger. Cocktails were excellent! Also just steps away from the beach! ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/6f295bb8-efa3-4ec6-98ef-a3c9a6385f27-1767008164620.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/128d334c-4b7c-41c1-9303-c0d4dbbc4168-1767008164945.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/8e943c57-ab1f-46fe-96c2-84619fa4dbda-1767008163213.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/48c33218-4148-4c10-91f0-d6669cea2942-1767008162744.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Carrie Stayed 7 nights in Dec 2025 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jeffrey Nov 17, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities We have stayed at Rip Jacks before and are thrilled to have return.

We were a family of two adults, two children ages, 10 and 12 and one senior. The location could not have been better. It was right beside the beach. There were lots of restaurants nearby, and the hotel restaurant was excellent. Only downsides were that breakfast was not included, there were a few towels provided, and there was no body lotion. There were several ants in the bathroom, but that is probably unavoidable given the location. The staff was very, very helpful and accommodating. The pools were small, but perfect. Our children loved seeing the iguanas and lizards on the property and really enjoyed the ping-pong table. ##### Eliane Stayed 6 nights in Dec 2025 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Tawny Aug 28, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities We had a great stay at Rip Jack Inn and wish we could have stayed longer than one night. We stayed in a bungalow with our family of 5 and it was very comfortable and had a private tropical feel. The food at the resort was delicious but expensive. My kids had a great time surfing in the area. ##### Tawny Stayed 1 night in Aug 2025 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Mark Dec 17, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Awesome stay!

That said, the food and beverage services were clearly the weakest part of the experience. As a Costa Rican who has lived in the United States for many years and returned home on vacation with my wife, I must say that the quality of the coffee was surprisingly poor for a hotel in Costa Rica, a country internationally recognized for its excellent coffee. Additionally, the food did not meet expectations. The gallo pinto, in particular, was not representative of the traditional Costa Rican dish, neither in preparation nor in flavor. For visitors hoping to experience authentic local cuisine, this may be disappointing. Finally, the prices for food were quite high considering the overall quality offered. With some improvements in the culinary experience and a better focus on local authenticity, this hotel could significantly enhance the value of its services. ##### Navil Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2025 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Will Dec 20, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Rip jack was great!

The rooms are clean, spacious with hot water and cool air conditioning. The restaurant/bar area has a fabulous happy hour with tasty food and refreshing beverages. You are a minute walk to one of the most beautiful beaches in all of Costa Rica. Monkeys and exotic birds are plentiful on the property. We have stayed on this property on several occasions and will continue to due so in the future. ##### Richard Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2025 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Vishal Dec 26, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Our stay at Rip Jack Inn was absolutely wonderful! The staff was incredibly kind and helpful, and the food at the restaurant was outstanding. We especially loved the chicken nachos and happy hour drinks. The beach is just a one-minute walk from the property, which was perfect. We initially planned to stay for two nights but ended up extending for two more because of the amazing hospitality. Huge thanks to the incredible staff and owners for making our visit so special! ##### Vishal Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2024 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Charlotte Mar 11, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities The property had a nice layout and was an easy 2 minute walk to the beach.

The resort is clean and it has a safe feel. The restaurant has delicious food at regular resort prices. And the restaurant staff is great especially Renaldo.

We had a great stay! Our room was under the kitchen but quieted down by 9:30\. The bathroom was tiny but for the price we paid we’d stay again!
