RipJack Inn

3.5 star property
8.8 out of 10, Excellent, (385)
"The property seem new, or at least recently renovated it is beautiful. We stayed in the bungalow and it was great, but could have used a way to hang up wet clothes. Unfortunately our room wasn't ready for us when we arrived, so we had to wait. And when we got to the room, the toilet needed plunging - nothing messy, but it wasn't flushing properly. Staff was very friendly and as responsive as possible. Everything we ordered in the restaurant was delicious."

"We initially booked the Grateful Hotel for one night but ended up extending our stay to two nights because we loved it so much! The staff was incredibly welcoming and went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed—they were genuinely some of the most helpful people we’ve encountered. The atmosphere was fantastic, with fun and friendly people, great food and drinks, and an overall lively vibe, especially at the pool and bar. The location is also a major plus—just a short walk to...

"This was an absolutely marvelous hotel in a challenging spot to get to. Don't let that stop you. The rooms, the food, the drinks, the views - everything was outstanding. Just one small thing.. you better be fit to very fit. The entire place is in a hill and it's unique and special, but I did 60 days of HIIT and weights to prep for this trip so I would not be the "old woman" who couldn't get around. So glad I did! They do have golf carts, but we just found ourselves walking. Truly...

"Love the location of this condo. The pool is nice and it is only about 10 -15 mins walk to the beach. Also, there is a sidewalk so you are not walking on the main road with cars and trucks and motorbikes. There is a small grocery store located at the front of the condo and it has everything including meat and vegetables and fruits. The only thing I would fault this place is the mattress. We rented unit 9 and we were basically sleeping on boxspring. There is no pillow top on the mattress and we...

"Overall, we had a nice stay at this hotel. Safe. Great location. A few things to be aware of. - The staff were nice but did not speak English very well making communication difficult. - Rooms are very small, however, this was noted in the listing (270 sq ft). - Cleanliness was an issue. Upon arrival at the room, there was a spoon that a previous guest had clearly used for yogurt. Although our room was serviced daily, this spoon was not changed throughout the duration of our visit (4 nights). The...
