From $355 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Hotel Villas Lazief in a chauffeured SUV or van.
The fare is locked per vehicle for the one-way trip, and it already covers the tolls, the fuel and the driver’s time.
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.
Hotel Villas Lazief sits in the Bonita Springs and Estero area, a quiet corner of Florida’s Gulf coast well removed from the cruise-port bustle you leave behind. This part of the state trades the busy Atlantic beaches for calmer water and a slower pace, and the property puts you within easy reach of both the shoreline and the inland shopping villages that give the region its character. It makes a natural base for travelers who desire the Gulf’s softer side after a week at sea.
The setting is what most guests recall. Bonita Beach is known for its gentle, peaceful water, and Barefoot Beach Preserve keeps a stretch of the coast in its natural state a short way along. Turn inland and the mood shifts to open-air retail: Coconut Point and the Miromar shopping villages, including Miromar Outlets, sit within the same Bonita Springs and Estero footprint. Between the sand and the stores, the neighborhood gives you plenty to fill the hours without the density of the large-city districts farther south.
Arriving here feels like a genuine change of scene after the port. The Gulf light, the quieter roads, and the easy mix of beach and shopping all sit close together, so you can decide day by day whether the plan is water or errands. Because the property anchors the Bonita Springs and Estero stretch, the beaches and the shopping centers stay part of the same easy orbit once your driver has set your bags down at the door.
The trip runs door to door, from your ship’s terminal at the Port of Miami all the way to Hotel Villas Lazief.

Plan on roughly 141 to 153 minutes on the road, depending on the hour you disembark.

Cumplieron al 100%. no había que pensar, solo subir y llegar, y sin peajas sorpresa, sin sobreventa, solo el viaje.
Primera vez de crucero por mi cuenta desde PortMiami, y tener un auto privado ahí mismo al salir para el viaje a Hotel Villas Lazief no pudo salir mejor. Había un buen período de gracia desde la hora acordada, así que nunca tuve que apurarme para juntar las maletas. La tarifa estaba cerrada al reservar, sin sorpresas en una mañana de desembarque cargada. Muy recomendable.
After our cruise, my husband and I didn’t want to risk a ride at the terminal, so we lined up a private car to Hotel Villas Lazief. An easy, relaxed handoff for the two of us — off the ship and into Hotel Villas Lazief with nothing left to sort out.
Sacar a todos del barco y hasta Hotel Villas Lazief suele ser un dolor de cabeza, pero una van privada reservada le quitó todo el estrés. El conductor nos dejó justo en la puerta de Hotel Villas Lazief, y no del otro lado de la calle.
My husband and I came down the gangway at PortMiami and a private car was already at the curb to take us to Hotel Villas Lazief. The SUV was spotless, and the AC was perfect after the ship.
