Hotwire Hotel: 4* San Juan (Rio Grande - Farjado) Rio Mar Beach Resort a Wyndham Resort

[points]

From research here/TripAdvisor it seemed highly likely to be the Wyndham.  It's a great deal, but I partly took it because it says it had Airport Shuttle, as it's a long ways from the airport.  Turns out the shuttle costs $75/person each way!  And clearly HOTWIRE doesn't show any possibility of extra cost for that until AFTER you get the confirmation back, and then only when you click on the amenity it says "an additional charge may apply."  HIGHLY DECEPTIVE!  What - are the other amenities like the beach, fitness center, pool, and smoke-free rooms also "an additional charge"??

 

Also - the next day, the price went down another $3 - which shows that sometimes waiting improves the price, not making it worse.
