Has anyone use a bus to get from the airport to hotel?

[H8mundays]

 We are arriving in San Juan a few days pre cruise and are staying at the Embassy Suites & Casino which is just outside the airport.  A taxi would be $12 but it is such a short distance we were thinking about using the Bus for .75 cents.  Has anyone doe this before? Wondering if it is a feasible option

The bus stop is at the end of the arrivals upper deck just beyond the doors to the SJU Airport Hotel.

 

Follow the airport workers who all seem to be waiting there and be sure to tell the driver where you want to go

as you could be on the wrong bus - I recall two different routes.

 

One time we didn't have exact change and the driver said get on anyway....  

Another time we passed our stop and everybody on the bus yelled for the bus to stop!

 

The bus along Isla Verde Ave and Ashford Ave are a great way to get back and forth to Old San Juan but your first trip from the airport to the Embassy Suites (one of our favorite hotels) should be by taxi because they don't recommend carrying luggage on the bus.  I have seen pilots and crew with small carry-on cases take the bus though!

Small carry-ons and backpacks are OK but you will likely be turned away with regular big pieces of luggage since they're not allowed on the buses.
