From $350 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Bonita Village Resort 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 Village Resort sits at 27901 Bonita Village Blvd, in the twin communities of Bonita Springs and Estero. This is Southwest Florida’s Gulf side, the stretch of coast that fills the map between Naples to the south and Fort Myers to the north. After the long ride across the peninsula from the cruise port, it is the quiet, low-key counterpoint to the pace of a sailing week.
What sits around the property is a good part of the appeal. Bonita Beach is close, and Barefoot Beach adds a protected preserve for anyone who wants sand without the crowds. Coconut Point brings a full run of shops and dining a short hop away, and Miromar Outlets covers the bargain-hunting end of the same day. For something distinct, the Everglades Wonder Gardens in Bonita Springs is a long-standing local stop, and the Florida Gulf Coast University campus anchors the Estero side of the region.
On arrival, your chauffeur brings you straight to the door at 27901 Bonita Village Blvd rather than a distant lot or a curbside handoff. Rooms, parking, and check-in are handled by the resort itself, so those questions belong with the property’s own front desk. What we cover is the part between the ship and that door: a private vehicle held for your group, bags carried the whole way, and a drop-off timed to when you actually walk off the ship rather than a fixed slot that ignores how disembarkation really runs.
The route out of the cruise port runs about 135 miles and normally takes 138 to 148 minutes, depending on traffic and the hour you sail in. Most of it is a single run along I-595, so once you are settled in the vehicle there are no transfers and no second pickup. Your bags ride with you, loaded at the terminal curb and carried again at the resort door.
Weekend mornings are the port’s busiest window, with thousands of passengers clearing the ships at once, so your pickup is planned around your actual disembarkation instead of a guessed time. The included wait absorbs customs and the luggage hall — you come out, the chauffeur is already staged and waiting, and the next stop is Bonita Village Resort at 27901 Bonita Village Blvd.

Muy recomendado. Nada que reprochar, absolutamente nada.
En viaje de pareja, cargó todo rápido y con cuidado.
Al bajar del barco por mi cuenta, lo último que quería era hacer fila para un taxi en el puerto, así que tenía un auto privado coordinado para ir a Bonita Village Resort. La tarifa estaba fija desde la reserva, exactamente lo acordado.
We got off the ship with the kids ready for a nap, and a private van waiting at the port made the run to Bonita Village Resort painless. There was a board with our name on it at the terminal doors, so we didn’t have to look around.
Éramos ocho bajando en PortMiami, y un traslado privado a Bonita Village Resort fue la forma fácil. Para llegar del barco a Bonita Village Resort sin estrés, valió mucho la pena. Pasamos de la terminal a una cama de verdad sin nada de qué preocuparnos en el medio.
