The restaurant was closed and we woke up to loud drilling at 6:40 in the morning. Also the room is in need of a serious deep clean because it was really dirty.

Great boutique hotel! I’ve stayed at this hotel on two different trips. It is perfectly located a short walk to the beach. Rooms are clean and cozy, although it is loud b/c you’re close together on a small property and it is especially loud if you are below the restaurant. They’ve added new units, which are really nice. Pools & grounds are lovely & clean. Best part is delicious restaurant for smoothies in AM & yummy dinners w live entertainment.

We really enjoyed our stay in the Villas at the Rip Jack Inn. The villa area was private, with only 4 villas and a pool just for that area. Very short walk to the beach. The food at the restaurant was good but expensive. We had a mechanical issue and they came to fix it right away.

Loved it!
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! The staff was incredible from the office to the grounds crew.

Perfect beach get-away!
My wife and I with a few friends visited RipJack in Playa Grande for a weekend get-away. It was perfect for what we were looking for. The beach is beautiful. 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 will be staying there again.

We loved our stay at rip Jack! Walk over to the beach or chill by the pool, everything was so close. The rooms were clean and had everything we needed. The bartenders upstairs - Filepe ronaldo and Adriana became our best friends! I would highly recommend staying here for your stay in grande!
