The waterfront location, views, tanks on site, steps down to the water is a plus for AW. Their car rental upcharge is very competitive with what you pay at the airport car rentals.
Why would you go to expedia or orbitz and not directly to AW to book? I never use travel agents. I will use booking.com on occasion.
NK has a better price and short walk to Gowest/Playa Kalki for their shore and boat diving. We had a top floor deluxe one bdrm which had a great view of the ocean and mountains/hills which made up in part for not being waterfront.
On a tip, not sure. $20 should be more than enough and again if I booked with AW I would just make it a condition unless they fought it tooth and nail and even then I would just try to persuade the driver with a tip. Like I said it is not far out of the way. We can get to Centrum from the airport in 5 min and in and out of Centrum in 15-20 so it is not taking that much time from the driver.
On your decision dilemma we have stayed at both and liked both. Pluses and minuses with each.
