From $355 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Bonita Resort and Club in a chauffeured SUV or van.
Pricing is by vehicle, not by seat: a solo traveler and a full car pay the same flat one-way rate.
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.
Bonita Resort and Club is a Gulf-coast property in the Bonita Springs and Estero region of southwest Florida, set close to the shoreline where the water tends to stay calm and shallow. It sits well away from the cruise port, on the opposite side of the peninsula from where your ship docks, which is why the transfer covers real ground rather than a quick hop across town. For questions about rooms, parking, and check-in times, the property’s own official page is the place to confirm those details.
The surrounding stretch pairs beach mornings with easy inland shopping. Bonita Beach and the protected sands of Barefoot Beach Preserve are the draws near the water, while Coconut Point and Miromar Outlets sit inland for anyone who wants to browse after a week at sea. Guests here frequently work a beach or a shopping village into the same day they come ashore, since the coast and the retail villages are both part of this Bonita Springs and Estero neighborhood.
A stay here leaves the shoreline within a short walk, and many arriving guests swap the ship’s pool for open sand the same afternoon they come ashore. After days of set dining rooms and crowded decks, having the beach close and a quiet room waiting tends to reset the whole trip. Arrive with the drive already handled, and the first thing on your list can be the water rather than logistics.
The ride runs door to door: your chauffeur is waiting when your group clears the terminal on Dodge Island, so there is no line to find and no bags to wheel across a parking lot on your own. Pickup is timed to your actual disembarkation, and your luggage rides in the vehicle with you. From the pier it is essentially one run along I-595 out toward the Gulf coast, ending at the door of Bonita Resort and Club with no added stops.
Plan on roughly 138 miles and about 146 to 155 minutes from terminal to door, depending on how heavy the road is that morning. Weekend mornings are the port’s busiest, with thousands of passengers leaving the ships at once, so the pickup is built around your ship’s schedule and that traffic is already figured into the plan. You settle into the SUV or van, the driver handles the route, and the next thing to think about is the beach.

After our sailing, my husband and I didn’t want to risk a ride at the terminal, so we arranged a private car to Bonita Resort and Club. The driver got the whole pile of luggage in so we didn’t have to lift a thing.
Waiting at the curb the moment we walked out, and an easy ride over to Bonita Resort and Club.
Mi pareja y yo bajamos del barco en PortMiami y había un auto privado listo en la terminal para llevarnos a Bonita Resort and Club. Lo último que quieres tras una semana en el mar es un viaje que falle, y este fue totalmente sólido. Ya guardamos el contacto para nuestro próximo crucero desde PortMiami. Hizo el desembarque facilísimo.
