Boutique Surf Hotel Rip Jack Inn

Nice hotel

Pros: Only had one night stay but enjoyed it. Very clean. Staff helpful.

Beautiful peaceful stay near the beach and close to local shops and restaurants, great location and beautiful hotel!

Pros: It was amazing! Everyone was so friendly and helpful, the property was beautiful as well

Pros: The location is unmatched. Beds were comfy and good bathrooms too - it was also nice that our room had a small table and chairs outside. Some coffee was provided which was nice for the morning, and we also liked that there was a small fridge for drinks, fruit etc. The drive in is totally fine and there is parking right outside the property. Lastly, given there isn't much in the way of restaurants in a walking distance it was nice to see so much variety on the restaurant menu.

Wonderful place to stay with a short walk to a fantastic beach

Pros: Excellent location, really well designed room and we loved the pool

Cons: Breakfast not included

Lovely hotel and location. The restaurant could improve

Pros: The staff was very friendly and the swimming pools and the access to the beach were great.

Cons: I would give 10 if the breakfast was included and TV in the room. The menu in the restaurant was not very flexible. Some of the most appealing dishes were not available for dinner. Happy hour cocktails didn't taste at all too much water.

A quiet secret and amazing bang-for-you-buck boutique hotel!

Pros: This quiet boutique hotel was amazing! Perhaps because it was low season, we found it quiet, super clean and had a very restful sleep. The pool was never packed and access to the beach was amazing! Please be very mindful of the beach as it is a surfers dream - meaning the waves are very rough but you can easily play with the waves if you are a fair swimmer. Beach was basically empty. The resturant is overpriced and not worth the money. Strongly recommend in the area Beach Break Cafe, Pots and Bowls, Cafe Mar Azul and Kike's Place for local amazing food.

Cons: Would like to have had breakfast included, but other than that, amazing! Also the TV didn't work but we were usually so tired by the end of the day that we would crash out.

Playa Grande

Pros: 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.

Cons: 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.

Pros: 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.

Cons: 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.

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

Cons: The prices at the restaurant are too expensive

Fantastic stay with beautiful people and location

Pros: Breakfast was excellent, wide choice and superb quality!
