From $140 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Intercoastal Hotel & Resort in a chauffeured SUV or van.
Every fare below is per vehicle, one way, with the driver, fuel and tolls inside the number. Pick the row that fits your group and luggage.
The driver is outside the PortMiami terminal when you come through, plans around the ship’s real arrival time, and loads the bags. The curbside greeting is covered by the fare and the Meet & Greet at the terminal is offered for $40. Then it is one private vehicle straight to the destination.
Intercoastal Hotel & Resort sits in the stretch of coast shared by Hallandale and Dania Beach, just south of Fort Lauderdale’s airport. It is a shoreline address in the truest sense: check in, drop your bags, and the sand is only steps from the door. For a group stepping off a cruise, that closeness is the whole appeal — plenty of guests trade the ship’s deck for a real beach the same afternoon they come ashore.
The surrounding region gives you more than the water. This is a corner of South Florida where casinos, quiet state-park beaches, and the Design Center of the Americas all sit within simple reach. Gulfstream Park and Dania Pointe draw guests once they have settled in, and the Dania Beach Fishing Pier is close by for anyone who wants a slower morning. It is an unhurried pocket of the coast, less crowded than the bigger beach towns to the south, with plenty to fill the days between arrival and departure.
What you locate on arrival is a place built for people who desire the ocean without the fuss of getting to it. The neighborhood’s edges are clear and walkable, the beach is honest sand rather than a promise, and the mix of dining, gaming, and design neighboring means you rarely have to go far. Whether your journey is a single overnight before a flight home or a longer stay after the cruise, Intercoastal Hotel & Resort keeps the coast within reach and the pace comfortably your own.
The journey runs door to door. Once your group clears the terminal on Dodge Island, your chauffeur is organized by message and meets you at the curb — not a parking lot, not a distant lot you have to locate on your own. Your bags go straight into the vehicle, and the ride is solely yours from the pier to the entrance of Intercoastal Hotel & Resort. No stops for other passengers, no waiting on a group you have never met.
Your booking carries sixty minutes of complimentary wait at the port, so the pace of customs never costs you the car within that time. Self-assist walkers are frequently out within the first hour; groups with checked luggage take a little longer, and that is built into the plan. When you reach the hotel, your chauffeur handles the luggage at the door, and the fare you locked at booking is the fare you pay — no cruise-morning surprises.
