Will there be shade umbrellas on the beach?
You have 3 buffets – international, italian and asian, correct?
Are reservations needed for the italian and asian? Is there an additional fee for these two or is it part of the all inclusive?
Also, are the liquors found inside the room included in the price? I won’t have to pay extra to consume them, right?
Thanks
Hi, Lorena!
Sorry for the delay in response. Riu Republica has a buffet Asian restaurant and an international buffet, but the Italian restaurant has buffet starters only with an a la carte menu. Don’t forget the Steakhouse, which is a la carte. All are included in an all-inclusive vacation. (A romantic dinner on the beach has an additional charge.) Also, yes! The liquor inside the room is included in the price and is refreshed daily.
Thanks!
Susie
