From $89 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Casa Florida Hotel 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.
Disembarkation at Port of Miami is easier with a driver already outside the terminal. The greeting at the curb is part of the price, the Meet & Greet at the terminal adds $40, and the vehicle is yours alone from the port to the destination, luggage included.
Casa Florida Hotel sits in Little Havana, the neighborhood that spreads west of downtown Miami along Calle Ocho. This is the most thoroughly Cuban stretch of the city, and the hotel puts you in the middle of it rather than out on some anonymous strip. From the front door you are steps from the cafecito counters, the cigar rollers working by hand, and the everyday street life that gives this part of town its name. It is a genuine Miami address, not a highway exit.
The location does the heavy lifting here. Calle Ocho — SW 8th Street — is the main artery, lined with Cuban lunch counters and small shops, and Máximo Gómez Domino Park is close enough to wander over and watch the games. The Tower Theater and Cuban Memorial Boulevard sit neighboring as well, so an afternoon of walking fills itself in without a plan. If you land with time before your room is ready, the neighborhood is the thing to see, and it is all within a few blocks.
When your driver pulls up, you are set down right at the main entrance with your bags, ready to check in and get on with the journey. Anything about the rooms, the front desk, or what the property itself offers lives on Casa Florida Hotel’s own page — our part is the ride and the door you reach at. What we can promise is that you reach it directly, on your schedule, with the neighborhood already at your feet.
After you clear the ship and walk off at the Port of Miami, there is no line to locate and no connection to make. Your chauffeur is organized by message as you come out of the terminal, meets you at the curb, and loads every bag into the vehicle for you. From there it is one direct leg to Casa Florida Hotel — no extra stops, no detours, the car reserved for your group alone.
The route runs straight from the cruise terminal over to Little Havana, and the built-in wait window at the port absorbs a slow gangway or a late disembarkation, so nobody is watching a clock. At Casa Florida Hotel you are dropped at the main entrance with your luggage. Tell us your ship and arrival date and the pickup is timed to when you actually walk off, weekend port crowds and all.

We came off the ship worn out from a great week and a private car straight to Casa Florida Hotel set the tone for the rest of the trip. It was a private car for our party alone — nobody else to wait on — so much nicer than piling in with strangers.
After our cruise, my husband and I weren’t going to gamble on a ride at the terminal, so we lined up a private car to Casa Florida Hotel. Honestly the easiest part of the whole trip — the port end was completely handled.
We didn’t want to juggle the little ones and the bags looking for a ride at the port, so we booked a private van to Casa Florida Hotel.
