From $350 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Cabana Resort & Spa 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.
Cabana Resort & Spa sits at 27901 Bonita Village Blvd, in the twin communities of Bonita Springs and Estero. This stretch of coast fills the space between Naples and Fort Myers, so the property lands you in a quiet, water-facing corner of southwest Florida rather than in the middle of the city you just sailed from. When your group pulls up, the entrance is right there and the bags come out beside you.
What makes this a good landing spot is everything within simple reach. Bonita Beach and the Barefoot Beach Preserve are close by, which means a walk on the sand can be the first thing you do after checking in. If shopping is more the plan, Coconut Point and Miromar Outlets are both nearby, giving you stores and places to eat without a long drive. Florida Gulf Coast University’s campus is part of this region too, one more marker of a region that has grown up around the coastline.
The setting is the draw here. After days aboard a ship, arriving somewhere with the preserve, the beaches, and open coast so near makes the shift from cruise to stay feel natural. Drop your luggage at Cabana Resort & Spa, step back outside, and the water is a short move away. Bonita Springs and Estero keep things unhurried, and that pace is exactly what a lot of travelers desire once the cruise is behind them and the vacation on land begins.
Once your group clears the terminal on Dodge Island, your chauffeur meets you curbside at your ship’s own terminal, not out in a parking lot. The luggage goes straight into the vehicle, and you head out together as one party. The driver follows I-595 for the run up the coast, a journey that normally takes 138 to 148 minutes for the roughly 135-mile route. The whole way is planned around your actual disembarkation, so the car is staged for when you genuinely walk out.
Ships rarely release everyone at the same minute, which is why the pickup includes a 60-minute courtesy wait that absorbs customs and the luggage hall. You are not standing at the curb wondering where your ride is. At the other end, the driver drops your group right at the entrance of Cabana Resort & Spa and carries the bags to you. Tolls and fuel are already part of the flat per-vehicle rate, so nothing changes on the day.

Buen precio. Reservé fácil. Recomiendo.
Viaje cómodo, recogida fácil, y un conductor que sabía exactamente a dónde ir. Recomendado. Había treinta minutos de margen desde la hora acordada, así que nunca tuvimos que apurarme para bajar del barco.
Para um desembarque sem estresse, meu marido e eu combinamos de um motorista privativo nos esperar no terminal de cruzeiros e nos levar até Cabana Resort & Spa. O motorista cuidou das malas para não precisarmos batalhar com tudo. Sinceramente a parte mais tranquila da viagem — o porto ficou totalmente resolvido. Deixou o desembarque facílimo.
Viaje fácil, tarifa fija, cero complicación de la terminal a Cabana Resort & Spa. Lo reservaría de nuevo.
Los dos salimos en crucero desde PortMiami y tener un auto privado listo en la acera para el viaje hasta Cabana Resort & Spa nos quitó todo el estrés. Era un auto privado solo para nosotros — sin paradas ajenas — un alivio tras una semana a bordo. Llegar a Cabana Resort & Spa directo desde la terminal significó que pudimos instalarnos sin esperar.
