From $140 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Hollywood Gardens Inn and Suites 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.
Walk off, clear the terminal, and the private vehicle is already outside. The driver knows which terminal the ship uses and times the pickup to the real disembarkation, with the curbside greeting included in the fare and the Meet & Greet at the terminal available for $40 if you want it. Bags in, and the car heads out of the port.
Hollywood Gardens Inn and Suites sits in Hollywood, the beach town that keeps a simple rhythm about halfway between Miami and Fort Lauderdale. That middle-ground location is part of its appeal: you obtain the coast and the calmer pace of a smaller city, with either of the larger neighbors a simple reach away. For travelers coming off a cruise, it makes a practical, unhurried base to land, unpack, and let the trip shift into a slower gear.
Step outside and Hollywood opens up around you. The Hollywood Beach Broadwalk is the local centerpiece, a long stretch of oceanfront path made for strolling, biking, and watching the water. ArtsPark at Young Circle brings green space, events, and a bit of local color to the middle of town, while West Lake Park adds room to obtain outdoors near the coast. Guests who like a night out often make time for the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel and Casino nearby. It is the kind of region where you can fill a day without going far.
The inn’s setting is what makes it work for a post-cruise stay: close enough to the beach-town core to walk into the fun, far enough to keep evenings quiet. Whether you are here for a single night before flying out or building a few extra days around Hollywood, the surroundings do the heavy lifting. Arrive, drop your bags, and the Broadwalk, the parks, and the coast are all part of the same short orbit. It is a straightforward, welcoming place to start or end time ashore, without any fuss about getting your bearings.
Your chauffeur meets you right at your ship’s own terminal on Dodge Island, coordinated by message as you walk off, so there is no line to join and no luggage left waiting on the sidewalk. From the pier it is one clean run north along I-95, covering roughly 20.8 miles to the door of Hollywood Gardens Inn and Suites. Plan on about 40 to 56 minutes terminal to door, depending on the hour and traffic, with the I-95 conditions already built into the plan.
Your bags go in with you, and the driver handles the luggage at both ends of the trip. The vehicle is reserved for your group alone, with an included 60-minute wait window at the port to absorb slow gangways and a busy disembarkation morning. It ends where you want it to end: at the entrance of the inn, ready for you to check in and settle.
