Pickup from RIU República: the exact details

We meet you at the República main lobby (adults-only RIU — no kids check, but ID required for the open bar wristband at the marina) at 3 PM. The driver routes Arena Gorda Rd → Cabeza de Toro junction, 15 min for a ~15-minute transfer to Cabeza de Toro Marina, boarding 30 min before your chosen slot (9 AM / 12 PM / 3 PM). After 3 hours on the catamaran — open bar, Grandma's Chicken lunch, snorkel stop and sandbar pool — you're dropped back at the same lobby around 7:30 PM. RIU República's Pacha disco opens at 23:00. Our 19:30 drop-off gives you 90 min for a poolside shower and dinner before the resort party — same wristband works.

Local intel for party boat from RIU República

Honest local notes on party boat from RIU República that you won't find at the hotel desk: (1) Lobby kiosks resell party boat from RIU República from whoever pays them most that week, not what's best. We book the captain and boat we'd put our own family on. (2) Tip 10% on party boat from RIU República if the crew earned it (they almost always do — most live off tips). It's not mandatory and not included in your rate. (3) Party boat from RIU República pricing is per person for shared, per boat for private. We send both numbers so RIU República guests can see exactly where the private upgrade pays off (usually at 6+ adults).
