The shuttle from FLL to the hotel has never been free. It used to be $2.00 per room reservation then it was $5.00 per room reservation. Things change so best to call the hotel directly to get some current info.
We stay at this hotel often as recently as this past March...great location and good rates booking it with ValueTrips.
Easy to get a taxi from FLL to the hotel should be approx $12.00 but make sure you use the meter never a flat rate.
We actually have it booked for another stay this month...$119.00 per night with VT.
