Bathroom was too small; our room was downstairs so very dark; note there is AC but no tv; roads in this area can get muddy and pot holed; you need bug spray when outdoors!

Updated but tiny rooms; two pool areas; restaurant on site. Can walk to nearby places to eat. No seating on beach so bring your own!

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

Stayed in April 2025

There is some construction on the adjacent road but it didn't bother us.

Wonderful stay in one of the villas. The hotel is super close to the beach and has everything you need. The food at the restaurant was good quality. I took 2 classes (yoga and pilates) and the kids enjoyed the multiple pools and the wild life around the hotel! We did not have a car and were able to walk around everywhere in the neighborhood.

Inefficient shower

Easy to find, friendly staff, clean and quiet environment. All good except the shower water lacks pressure and doesn’t heat up.

Stayed in March 2025

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.

Breakfast not included

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

Stayed in January 2025

I think breakfast should be included for the price paid since it’s not cheap.

Spacious rooms, close to the beach and good restaurant

Stayed in January 2025

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.

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

Stayed in January 2025

The only minus is the place is a bit noisy as the rooms are very close to one another, the beds in the standard rooms are a bit small (I am 1,88m).

Very nice location, the amenities are nice, swimming pool beach volley field next to the bar, playa grande is literally at the door. Nice restaurants onsite and around. I definitely recommend it.

Very friendly and courteous staff made us feel wonderful at all times. Deep tissue massage therapist was A+ in technique.

Stayed in October 2024

No work space inside the room, no snacks in reception. Also a little noisy right outside the door when people/kids are in the pool.

Layout and location. Excellent access to the beach. Super comfortable bed and pillows. Large bathroom and shower.

Stayed in August 2024

The shower didn’t work. I was leaving very early and couldn’t get a shower because water was coming extremely hot from each of the control valves

Nice hotel with great location

Stayed in July 2024

Room was under restaurant so you could hear the chairs move often.

Walk to beach

Stayed in July 2024

Wish beach towels were in the room and the pillows were more comfortable (a little hard for my liking) But these are minor things. We enjoyed staying here and would recommend it!

The bed and restaurant were great. Good location too!

Stayed in July 2024

I expect a better room.

The location is great, non ocean view but very close to the beach.

Stayed in July 2024

The restaurant food was not great and in some cases below ok could definitely improve in this area

Clean and the tropical gardens The staff was outstanding Beautiful access to the beach

Stayed in June 2024

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.

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.

Stayed in February 2024

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

The location, the vibes and the nature

Stayed in February 2024

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.

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.
