From $140 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Riptide Oceanfront Hotel in a chauffeured SUV or van.
The prices are flat and quoted per vehicle for the whole one-way ride: no meter, no surge, nothing added at the curb.
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.
Riptide Oceanfront Hotel is a beachfront stay in Hollywood, Florida, set right where the sand meets the Atlantic. By road it sits about 24.1 miles from Port of Miami, close enough for a straight run north yet far enough to feel like its own quiet stretch of coast. The oceanfront setting means the water is essentially at the door, with the town’s easygoing beach rhythm all around it.
What makes this corner of Hollywood so easy to savor is how much sits within reach. The Hollywood Beach Broadwalk, a brick promenade that runs roughly two and a half miles along the ocean, passes close by and gives you a flat, breezy path for a morning stroll or an evening bite. Inland, downtown gathers around Young Circle, home to ArtsPark, while the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino and its landmark guitar tower rise a short drive away. West Lake Park adds more green space neighboring for anyone wanting a break from the sand.
Step out of the vehicle and you are at the hotel entrance, bags carried to the curb beside you, with the beach and the Broadwalk only steps from where you stand. It is an easy place to land after a cruise, close to the water and close to the parts of Hollywood worth wandering into. For rooms, parking, and check-in details, the property itself is the best source, since those specifics belong to the hotel rather than to the ride that gets you there.
Your chauffeur meets you curbside at the terminal, timed to your ship’s actual arrival rather than a fixed slot, so there is no scramble once you clear disembarkation. Luggage goes into the vehicle, everyone climbs aboard together, and the drive runs door to door with no extra stops. The route follows I-95 north for the roughly 24.1-mile hop from Port of Miami up to Hollywood, ending at the hotel entrance with your bags set down beside you.
Plan on about 45 to 61 minutes terminal to door, with traffic on I-95 the main thing that moves the number one way or the other. Because the pickup is built around when your ship really docks, there is room to spare rather than a countdown cut to the minute. The vehicle is reserved for your group alone, so the pace and the space are yours the whole way to Riptide Oceanfront Hotel.

Todo salió a tiempo de la acera de la terminal hasta la puerta de Riptide Oceanfront Hotel — tal cual lo prometido.
Private, punctual, and we didn’t have to worry about anything between the ship and Riptide Oceanfront Hotel.
Viajaba solo y reservé un auto privado para que me esperara en la terminal de cruceros al bajar del barco y llevarme directo a Riptide Oceanfront Hotel. Lo último que quieres tras una semana en el mar es un viaje que falle, y este fue confiable y puntual. Llegar a Riptide Oceanfront Hotel a primera hora significó que pude hacer el check-in y por fin darme una ducha tras la semana en el mar. Hizo el desembarque facilísimo.
The kids were running on empty when we walked off, and a private van already at the curb got everyone to Riptide Oceanfront Hotel in one piece. We went from the ship to the front desk of Riptide Oceanfront Hotel with nothing to worry about in between. The night before, we got a message with the driver’s name and license plate, so there was nothing to figure out on the way out.
