From $410 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from MIA to Drunkle Rick’s Tropical Resort & Spa in a chauffeured SUV or van.
These are fixed one-way fares for the whole car or van, tolls and fuel included, so the total is known before anyone gets in.
The pickup follows the flight, not the schedule you booked weeks ago, so an early landing or a late one changes only the meeting time. You are met at MIA arrivals with the greeting included in the fare, and the Meet & Greet inside the terminal, your driver holding a name sign, is available for $40 more. From there it is one private vehicle straight to the destination.
Drunkle Rick’s Tropical Resort & Spa sits in Cape Coral, on Florida’s Gulf coast across the river from Fort Myers. This is a part of the state built for the water, and the resort settles into that rhythm: a place to slow down once the long drive from the airport is behind you and the Gulf air takes over.
Cape Coral is a boater’s grid of navigable canals, threaded with waterfront parks and easy access to the barrier islands just offshore. That layout shapes the whole area around the resort, where the water is rarely more than a turn away and the pace stays unhurried. Mornings tend toward the peaceful side, and the afternoons open onto the canals and the coast beyond them, so a stay here leans into being outdoors as much as it does the spa and the grounds themselves.
The surrounding area gives you plenty to fill a few days without straying far. The Cape Coral canals are the obvious draw, and Four Freedoms Park sits within easy reach for an afternoon by the water. Fourmile Cove Ecological Preserve and Rotary Park are both close as well, each a quieter, greener counterpoint to the canals for anyone who wants a walk among the mangroves and native trails. Between the waterfront and the preserves, Drunkle Rick’s puts you close to the best of what Cape Coral does well, with your ride arranged so the trip starts and ends without a scramble.
The trip runs door to door from Miami International Airport out to Cape Coral, taking I-75 across the state toward the Gulf coast. Plan on roughly 165 to 176 minutes depending on how the highway is moving; off-peak hours run quicker and rush hour sits at the slower end. Your chauffeur tracks the flight, so an early or late landing simply moves the pickup rather than costing you a new booking.
Once you clear the terminal, the driver meets you curbside, handles the luggage, and walks you to the vehicle, with your bags riding in the car the whole way. From there it is one steady run west with no transfer and no stop you did not ask for. You set the pace and journey with just your own group, and the car pulls up to the resort entrance at the end.
