From $150 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Sky Islands Beach Hotel in a chauffeured SUV or van.
One number per vehicle covers the full trip one way. Choose by how many people ride and how many bags come along.
Walk off, clear the terminal, and the private vehicle is already outside. The driver knows which terminal the ship uses and times the pickup to the real disembarkation, with the curbside greeting included in the fare and the Meet & Greet at the terminal available for $40 if you want it. Bags in, and the car heads out of the port.
Sky Islands Beach Hotel places you close to the Fort Lauderdale shoreline, where the sand sits only steps from the door. Las Olas Boulevard and Fort Lauderdale Beach are both within simple reach of the stay, and the Riverwalk and Port Everglades sit nearby as well. It is the kind of address that lets you walk out and be at the water in minutes instead of facing a long drive, which is exactly what you want after days at sea.
The setting is pure Fort Lauderdale. Canals thread the city from Las Olas out to the Intracoastal, the reason it is called the Venice of America, and the beachfront promenade runs for miles along the sand. Guests who arrive after a cruise often skip unpacking entirely and head straight for the shore, trading the ship’s pool for the real thing the same afternoon they disembark.
On arrival you locate a coastline made for walking, with the beach, the promenade, and Las Olas all reachable on foot from the property. If your flight home leaves late or your room opened early, the surrounding region rewards a slower look: the murals of Wynwood, the cafes of Little Havana, and neighborhoods like Coconut Grove, Coral Gables, and Brickell all sit within a relaxing drive, along with shopping stops and museums when you want them. However you choose to fill the hours, the hotel keeps you a short step from the water the entire time.
The ride begins the moment you clear the terminal. Your driver is staged at the port before you finish disembarkation, so once your group steps out with the bags, the vehicle is already there and the wait is the driver’s, not yours. Bags go in, everyone settles, and the car pulls away for a single run to Sky Islands Beach Hotel with no stops in between.
From there the route follows I-95 north, and you can budget roughly 60 to 76 minutes depending on the hour and the traffic. Luggage stays in the vehicle the whole way, so nothing needs handling until you reach the door, where the driver carries the bags to the curb beside you. It is one fixed price, one vehicle kept for your group alone, and a straight line from the cruise terminal to the hotel entrance.
