From $89 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Palm Tree Club Miami Hotel 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.
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.
Palm Tree Club Miami Hotel sits at 1819 79th Street Causeway, out on the north end of the island where the pace naturally slows down. This is North Beach territory — a part of town that trades the late-night density of the busier districts for open room to breathe. The blocks around the hotel stay mostly residential and low-key, so the address reads more like a real neighborhood than a tourist strip. Broad sand and an oceanfront walking path sit close by, which sets the tone for a calmer kind of stay.
Arrival here means landing in one of the quieter corners of the coast. The beaches along this stretch run broad and open, and the shoreline path invites a simple morning walk before the sun climbs high. The north end connects without fuss to neighboring Surfside and Bal Harbour, each carrying its own unhurried feel, so a short walk or a swift ride opens up more of the coast whenever you desire it. It is the sort of setting that rewards slowing down rather than rushing between attractions.
For travelers staying on, there is ample within reach. Bal Harbour Shops is close by for anyone in the mood to browse, and the Surfside beachwalk offers a flat, picturesque stretch to cover on foot. In North Beach itself, the North Beach Bandshell hosts open-air events, while Haulover Park adds still more sand and green space just up the road. That mix makes the hotel a practical base, whether your visit is a single quiet night straight off the ship or a longer run of beach days paced entirely to your own schedule.
The ride starts the moment your group clears the cruise terminal. Your chauffeur is already staged at the curb, timed to your ship’s actual arrival, ready to load the bags so you never drag luggage across the port. From there it is a single direct leg — I-95 and Northwest 79th Street carry you the roughly 9.9 miles to the hotel door with no transfers along the way.
Plan on about 27 to 33 minutes for the journey, with traffic on that corridor the only real variable. Because the pickup follows your ship rather than a fixed clock, there is room built in for the pace of customs and disembarkation. Your bags stay in the vehicle the whole way, and the ride ends right at Palm Tree Club Miami Hotel.
