From $130 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to PRAIA Hotel Hollywood 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.
Book with the ship’s name and the date, and the driver handles the rest at PortMiami: waiting at the correct terminal, helping with the suitcases, and leaving the port without a queue. The curbside greeting costs nothing extra; the Meet & Greet at the terminal with a name sign adds $40.
PRAIA Hotel Hollywood sits in Hollywood, the coastal town positioned about halfway between Miami and Fort Lauderdale. That in-between spot gives the area a calmer, beach-town pace, and it is the tone you feel the moment you settle into the neighborhood around the property. You are close enough to reach the bigger cities when you desire them, yet far enough from the noise to keep your stay unhurried once your ship lets you off and the vacation genuinely begins.
Step outside and the sea sets the rhythm. The Hollywood Beach Broadwalk runs along the water, a wide oceanfront path made for slow strolls, bike rides, and simple meals with a view. A short way inland, ArtsPark at Young Circle gathers green space, events, and local color into one open gathering point. Between the two, you have the shoreline on one side and a community hub on the other, which makes it simple to fill an afternoon without planning much at all.
The wider area keeps the options coming. The Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino is one of the region’s larger draws and sits neighboring for an evening out, while West Lake Park offers quieter, greener ground for anyone who wants the outdoors instead. For rooms, parking, check-in times, and anything specific to the building itself, the hotel’s own official page is the dependable source. What matters for your ride is that PRAIA Hotel Hollywood is a simple, direct place to reach from the cruise terminal, and your chauffeur delivers you right to its entrance.
The journey runs from the PortMiami cruise terminal straight to PRAIA Hotel Hollywood, covering roughly 19.9 miles by way of I-95. Plan on about 39 to 56 minutes on the road, depending on the hour and the traffic that day. Once your group clears the terminal exit, the car is staged at the curb and your chauffeur handles the bags, so the whole distance is a single direct leg rather than a series of stops. Everything you carry stays in the vehicle with you from the terminal to the hotel door.
Because the pickup is timed to your actual disembarkation, you are not left waiting on availability, and there is 60 minutes of courtesy wait built in at the port in case the walk-off runs long. Weekend mornings are the busiest, with thousands leaving the ships at once, so that I-95 traffic is already accounted for in the plan. Your chauffeur is bilingual in Spanish and English and knows the port, and the vehicle is yours alone the whole way.

Highly recommended. fit all my luggage without trouble.
Mi pareja y yo salimos del barco en PortMiami y había un auto privado esperando en la acera de la terminal para llevarnos a PRAIA Hotel Hollywood. Había un cartel con nuestro nombre junto a las puertas de la terminal, así que ubicamos al conductor sin dar vueltas. La noche anterior recibimos un texto con el nombre del conductor y la placa, así que no quedaba nada por resolver al salir.
We cruised with a big crew and wanted everyone and the luggage in one private ride to PRAIA Hotel Hollywood after disembarking. No scramble at the port — we just stepped out and the car was ready. We were dropped straight at the door of PRAIA Hotel Hollywood, not on a corner with the bags.
De crucero con los niños, no queríamos caos el día del desembarque, así que una van privada directo hasta PRAIA Hotel Hollywood fue perfecto. La sillita para el niño estaba ya instalada, lo que fue una gran ayuda esa mañana.
We didn’t want to juggle the little ones and the bags looking for a ride at the port, so we booked a private van to PRAIA Hotel Hollywood. The last thing you want after a week at sea is a ride that falls through, and this was rock solid.
