From $340 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Best Western Naples Plaza Hotel in a chauffeured SUV or van.
One number per vehicle covers the full journey one way. Select by how many people ride and how many bags come along.
Tell us the ship and the driver times the pickup to its arrival, then waits at your terminal’s curb at PortMiami. The curbside greeting there is included in the fare; the Meet & Greet at the terminal is a $40 add-on. From the port the ride is direct, with no other passengers.
Best Western Naples Plaza Hotel sits in Naples, over on Florida’s opposite coast from the cruise terminals — a full crossing of the peninsula from the Atlantic side where your ship ties up. The draw is simple: the shoreline is only steps from the property, close enough that plenty of arriving guests are standing on real sand the same afternoon they walk off the ship. After days of a deck-side pool, that first stretch of open beach lands differently.
Because the hotel keeps the water within a simple walk, the move from cabin to coast is short. You drop your bags, and the beach is right there rather than a drive away — the kind of arrival where the journey starts before you have fully unpacked. The setting means you are not budgeting time for another hop once you finally reach the door, and Naples itself is built for exactly this slower pace.
The town rewards anyone willing to wander. Naples pairs its powder-soft beaches and its pier with the galleries lining Fifth Avenue and a botanical garden worth an afternoon, so days here can tilt toward the sand or toward the shops and greenery as the mood goes. For the specifics of your stay — room types, parking, and check-in times — the property’s own page is the reliable source, and it is worth a look before you travel so the room is ready when the car pulls up.
Your ride begins right at your ship’s own terminal on Dodge Island. Once you clear disembarkation, your reserved black SUV is waiting at the curb — no searching, no line. The driver handles the luggage, loads it into the vehicle, and the group heads out together toward Naples. From the port the route runs west across the state on I-75, the same road the whole way, and covers the roughly 124 miles to the hotel door with no added stops.
Plan on 123 to 136 minutes terminal to door, with I-75 traffic the only real variable, so the pickup is timed to your ship’s actual arrival rather than a fixed slot cut to the minute. Fuel, typical tolls, and luggage assist are already inside the flat fare, and the vehicle stays yours alone for the run. At the far end the driver pulls up to the entrance and carries the bags to the curb beside you.
Booking takes the full fare up front, paid online. There are no seat fees and no add-ons unless you request them.
