RipJack Inn

10.0

We stayed at RipJack Inn in Playa Grande in November 2024, and while our trip coincided with some of the worst flooding the region has seen in over 20 years, the experience left a lasting impression for all the right reasons. Due to severe flooding, Liberia Airport was shut down and even a sinkhole developed, delaying our return home for several days. Despite the uncertainty, the staff at RipJack Inn were absolutely incredible. They were attentive, communicative, and genuinely cared about the well-being of their guests during a very stressful time. We ultimately decided to cut our stay short and make the difficult journey to San José in hopes of finding a way home, despite warnings about road closures and hazardous travel conditions. Manager Nubia Dominguez was incredibly understanding, helping us prepare for the trip and ensuring we felt as comfortable as possible with our decision. Thanks to the team, what could have been an overwhelming situation was made much more manageable. Their hospitality truly stood out. Once home, we started planning a return trip to Guanacaste so our whole family can fully experience the beauty of the area and the amazing people we met. Highly recommend RipJack Inn—not just for the location, but for the exceptional staff who go above and beyond when it matters most. We also want to take a moment to recognize Nubia for her outstanding kindness and professionalism. When we returned in February 2026, she welcomed us with a warm smile and immediately made us feel relaxed. That level of genuine hospitality is rare and truly appreciated. RipJack Inn continues to impress on every level—great location, a fantastic restaurant, and exceptional management. We can’t recommend this hotel enough!
