From $385 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Hideaway Waterfront Resort and 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.
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.
Hideaway Waterfront Resort and Hotel sits in Cape Coral, a corner of Southwest Florida defined by water. The city is threaded with hundreds of navigable canal miles, more than almost anywhere in the country, and that setting shapes the whole feel of a stay here. You are on the quiet, residential side of the Gulf coast rather than the hectic stretches farther south, which is exactly why cruise travelers pick it for the days on either side of a sailing.
Nature sits close in every direction. Four Freedoms Park is within simple reach of the resort, and Fourmile Cove Ecological Preserve gives you mangrove trails and paddling water without a long drive. Rotary Park, also in Cape Coral, adds more green space and simple walking. When you desire a change of scene, the bridges out of Cape Coral carry you rapidly over to Fort Myers and on toward the barrier islands, so a day journey is never a production.
For a cruise crowd this is a genuinely relaxing base: waterfront surroundings, room to spread out, and a slower pace than the port city you just left behind. The details of the stay itself, room types, on-site features and check-in times, all live on the resort’s own official page, and that is where we point you for those. Our part of the journey is simpler and just as important, getting your group there in one clean run from the ship so the vacation starts the moment you step out of the vehicle.
This is a longer haul than most port transfers, and doing it in your own vehicle is what keeps the day simple. After you disembark at PortMiami, your chauffeur is already waiting at the exact terminal your cruise line uses. Bags go straight into the vehicle, everyone climbs in, and you head out as one group with no waiting curbside and no dragging luggage across the port.

Plan on about 165 to 174 minutes terminal to door, depending on the hour and how traffic moves on I-595, which is really the only variable on a drive this length. Because your pickup follows your ship’s actual arrival with room to spare, you set the departure and the pace, and the vehicle stays yours the whole way with full luggage assist at both ends.
