Single room rate for double occupancy benefit for AMB
One of the benefits of Ambassador is single room rate for double occupancy. I'd like to book a stay the IC San Jose (Costa Rica) for two people and I see there is a charge for the second guest. How can I take advantage of this benefit? Should I just book for one and show up with my SO at check-in?

My experience of this is that on the last page of booking process it will say total with the charge but after you've booked and on your confirmation email, the charge won't be there.
Happened to me on an all inc rate at IC Mauritius. Approx 500 euros 2nd person charge simply disappeared after booking. Wasn't charged at the hotel either.
On some rates at some hotels, it's an excellent benefit.
If in doubt, book the best flexible rate and see what happens then cancel and change to non refundable if that's preferred.

And I checked for a few of my regular hotels and rate seems identical if booking for one or two persons.
