The property is right across from the beach and located close to town.

Close to the beach and staff were very helpful

Room next door to a building site with drilling and use of heavy equipment all day from 8-5. Very very noisy. Pool area very enclosed.

After having booked a couple of hotels that had not been what we expected decided to phone and visit first. Receptionist unhelpful and put phone down on me despite speaking good English. Large Room two comfortable beds and good size very Clean. Did laundry for reasonable cost. Very close to great beach.

Noise from the neighboring construction all around.

Clean modern rooms. Flow of the landscape. The long deep pool. Having the howler monkeys come through. Staff in the restaurant and the food.

Overpriced and overrated food . 22 US dollars for 2 average tacos . Better places to stay in grande with much better restaurants in area. Breakfast burrito was something out of a kids meal and not a meal for adult surfers.

Location and one of the 2 pools on N side of property.

It is a bit pricey for the size of the room but otherwise, it's a great option if you want to be close to the beach.

The property is close to the beautiful Playa Grande and the grounds are beautiful. There are two pools and each room has a nice hammock to chill in. Despite being right next to the road, it's very peaceful, and the gardens make you feel like you are in a lush environment. The yoga studio is also very beautiful and spacious.

The hotel room was comfortable, but the shower in the room often turned from hot to cold and back again- making it difficult to have a constant temperature when one showered. We were also in a room near the street and were awakened at 5:30am a few times by people parking and getting their surfboards and other equipment out as they headed toward the beach.

The food at the hotel's restaurant was very delicious and there was a good variety of items on the menu. The hotel staff at both the restaurant and the hotel office were wonderful. They were all very pleasant, courteous, and extremely helpful. Jose and Irene in the restaurant, and Angie and David in the office were particularly exceptional in the personal service and assistance they provided us. We really enjoyed interacting with the hotel staff.

The price, the rooms are too simple for the price

At reception upon checkin, when asked about local shops and restaurants, we were told there was nothing around, only what the hotel offered. Thankfully, we discovered very quickly that was not the case. Pool and restaurant hours could be extended, especially on nights when there was live music.

We had the pleasure of staying at RipJack in mid December and loved it! The room was big and spacious with a good-sized fridge and great AC! The pool was right outside our door, and it was nice to have a table and chairs on our wee patio. The coffee and water stations were a bonus, as well as the communal hammocks and ping-pong table. We also enjoyed the happy hour cocktails almost daily, super delicious! & the food at the restaurant was also very good. The hotel had the perfect location to the amazing beach and little village, and we loved the quietness of the area and the lack of people.

Very, very noisy. We stayed previous year and was not as bad. There was a private birthday party that was super loud..we expected a quiet retreat, but not that at all. Kitchen above rooms was very noisy as well until at least 10pm. Early beach goers park close and make lots of noise.

Staff were super friendly and helpful. Servers were the best, especially Sonya & Myra! Grounds were kept spotless by Anna. The reception staff were very pleasant too. Close to beach.

Perfect location walking distance to beach, This hotel is quaint and beautiful. Staff is very friendly and the restaurant is delicious. I loved the hammocks hanging everywhere and the pools right outside your door.

Stayed in February 2024

The rooms are a bit dated, and there was very limited storage space for your clothes.

Great location, walking distance to a huge beach, with a nice bar and restaurant up in the trees. The grounds are lovely, with two pools, and they provide gear for the beach (chairs, boogie boards) which is great. The rooms are large and have comfortable beds.

The prices at the restaurant are too expensive

It was near to the sea. The bed was really confortable

Was very expensive for what it was. Especially the restaurant! Really overpriced, small and disappointing meals. We had been 14 years before and it was a real surf hub which sadly it’s lost any feeling of. Doesn’t really feel like you’re in Costa Rica anymore either.

Great location and nice comfortable, clean room. Small but nice pool.

Stayed in December 2023

layout of buildings and paths is tight and not well thought out. like sometimes you have to walk through a drainage ditch to get to your room. very little privacy for ground floor rooms

beds and linens super comfy and plush, a deluxe type of hotel resort w amenities like yoga class, hammocks, loungers, and the restaurant breakfast was super

Stayed in December 2023

I liked everything, but for some people, it might be a bit quiet, playa grande does not have much as far as services, just a couple of places to eat.

Beautiful grounds, great food, friendly staff and close to beach

on line booking needs to state a little clearer that the villas are located down the street, 5 minute walk away. With a locked gate, so when my parents walked down from the hotel to visit they could not get in with their hotel key, to visit my family in the hotel villas, unless you met them at the gate. However at check in we were told that the villas were a walk a away. I just wish I knew that at booking time.

Staff very nice. Food was delicious in the restuarant. We ate dinner & breakfast there. Our rooms were nice, but far apart. Pool was nice to relax by, there are outdoor showers to rinse off at when coming back from the beach, that was nice too.
