From $140 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Hollywood Sands Resort 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.
On disembarkation morning the driver plans around the ship’s arrival and waits at the curb outside your terminal at PortMiami. The curbside greeting at the terminal is included; the Meet & Greet at the terminal, your driver holding a name sign, is available for $40. Luggage goes straight from the terminal into the vehicle and the ride leaves private and direct.
Hollywood Sands Resort is a Hollywood stay set between the ocean and the city’s easygoing downtown, a quick place to settle in for travelers stepping off a cruise. The property puts the coast on one side and Hollywood’s cultural core on the other, so a walk to the water or an evening out both start from the same doorstep.
Out front, the draw is the Hollywood Beach Broadwalk — a brick path stretching roughly two and a half miles beside the sand, made for slow strolls, bikes, and a coffee with the surf in view. Inland, the mood turns local at ArtsPark at Young Circle, the low-key heart of downtown Hollywood, where the green space and small-town feel offer a calmer counterpoint to the beach.
There is more within easy reach when you desire it. The Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino, marked by its guitar-shaped tower, sits inland for a night with a little more shine, while West Lake Park adds an outdoor choice neighboring in Hollywood. It adds up to a base that works whether your days lean toward the water, the walkable downtown, or a mix of both — a practical place to land after a sailing, close to what makes Hollywood worth the stop.
The ride begins the moment your group clears the terminal exit. Rather than send you hunting through a parking lot, the driver is staged at your ship’s own curb, tracking the actual arrival so the car is ready when you walk off — with an hour of courtesy wait built in while the group gathers and finds the door.
From there it is one direct run to the resort, bags loaded and riding with you the whole way, the vehicle held for your party alone. Plan on roughly 45 to 60 minutes from the terminal curb to the hotel door, with traffic the only real variable. The chauffeur carries the luggage to the entrance, so the journey ends right where you’re staying rather than at a drop point down the block.
