"What a great little hotel! The staff at reception (Yorya, J-J, and Andrea) were super-friendly and helpful, providing information and booking me on 2 tours. The pool was lovely and I appreciated the shared kitchen. I loved the hammocks and hammock swings! It's a 2 min. walk to the spectacular beach, and watching the sunset was a highlight for me.

"Our stay at Rip Jack Inn was absolutely wonderful! The staff was incredibly kind and helpful, and the food at the restaurant was outstanding. We especially loved the chicken nachos and happy hour drinks. The beach is just a one-minute walk from the property, which was perfect. We initially planned to stay for two nights but ended up extending for two more because of the amazing hospitality. Huge thanks to the incredible staff and owners for making our visit so special!"

"This hostel is perfect for meeting like minded people—you get your own sleeping space and get to meet new friends in the common spaces. Breakfast is wonderful, it’s a 30second walk from the beach, has AC, it felt safe and inviting, and the host is amazing. He’s around to check in and does a great job of making you feel comfortable! I highly recommend this place if you’re looking for a quieter place to stay in Costa Rica. The water taxi to busy Tamarindo is only a 5 minute walk down the beach! I...
