Costa Rica means “Rich Coast” and once you see Playa Grande (“Big Beach”) you will know why. The beach is three miles long and nearly untouched because of the  National Park created to protect the endangered Leatherback Turtles. Nature’s playground is only a step away from the RipJack Inn where you can take your pick of great waves. Take a stroll north and you’ll discover the ultra-secluded Playa Ventana and the black sand beach of Playa Carbon.

Across the estuary lies Playa Tamarindo, a tourist Mecca where you will find a multitude of trendy restaurants, shops, bars, discos and of course more surf.

Access to nightlife and serenity and seclusion are just but a couple of the features that RipJack Inn offers guests.

The RipJack Inn has 8 individually decorated rooms nestled among lush foliage that includes banana, palm, and almond trees, tropical flowers and much more. Each room has a private bath with hot water, air conditioning and an orthopedic mattress. Rooms are also equipped with coffee makers.

Their executive chef, James Spratling, has created unique menu dishes that highlight the freshest local ingredients. Join them for Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner. The RipJack is also available for Weddings & Special Events.
