From $110 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Miami Lakes Hotel and Golf in a chauffeured SUV or van.
The fare is locked per vehicle for the one-way journey, and it already covers the tolls, the fuel and the driver’s time.
Disembarkation at Port of Miami is easier with a driver already outside the terminal. The greeting at the curb is part of the price, the Meet & Greet at the terminal adds $40, and the vehicle is yours alone from the port to the destination, luggage included.
Miami Lakes Hotel and Golf is a golf-and-stay property in Miami Lakes, set within the wider Miami–Fort Lauderdale corridor. It pairs guest lodging with its own course, so the same address that gives you a room to unwind in also opens onto the fairways. For a traveler stepping off a cruise, that combination is a gentle landing — a single destination where the day can slow down once the ship is behind you.
The property sits inland, away from the shoreline crowds, on the county side of the metro rather than out by the water. Reaching it from the port means a steady run across town, and the ride ends at the hotel’s own front entrance — the actual door where you check in, not a corner neighboring or a lot down the street. Your driver pulls up exactly where you need to be and carries your bags the last few feet inside.
Because the hotel and the golf share one location, arrival is simple to picture: you reach the building, your luggage comes out of the vehicle, and the rest of the stay is right there. Groups traveling together land at the same entrance at the same moment, whether that is a couple, a family, or a larger party filling a van. However your cruise finishes — a slow morning or a hectic weekend disembarkation — the vehicle carries you straight to Miami Lakes Hotel and Golf and leaves you at its threshold, ready to settle in.
The ride begins at your ship’s own terminal on Dodge Island. Once you clear the luggage hall, your driver meets your group at the curb, loads every bag, and pulls away toward Miami Lakes Hotel and Golf as a single direct leg — no other stops, no other passengers. The route follows the Palmetto Expressway and SR-826 across the county, so you can plan on roughly 35 to 47 minutes depending on the hour.
Your bags stay in the vehicle the whole way, and the car is reserved for your party alone. Because ships rarely release everyone at the same minute, the pickup is timed to your actual disembarkation, with a 60-minute courtesy wait built in to absorb customs and baggage claim. You walk out, the vehicle is waiting, and the next thing on the list is the front entrance of Miami Lakes Hotel and Golf.
