From $110 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Sonesta Bayfront Hotel Coconut Grove 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.
On disembarkation morning the driver plans around the ship’s arrival and waits at the curb outside your terminal at PortMiami. The curbside greeting at the terminal is included; the Meet & Greet at the terminal, your driver holding a name sign, is available for $40. Luggage goes straight from the terminal into the vehicle and the ride leaves private and direct.
Sonesta Bayfront Hotel Coconut Grove sits in one of Miami’s most walkable waterfront neighborhoods, where the streets keep a small-village feel under a canopy of old banyan trees. This is the leafy, historic side of the city, a change of pace from the hectic terminals you just left. Step out the door and you are within reach of sidewalk dining, boutiques, and the sailboats moored along the bay, all of it a short distance from your room.
The Grove rewards travelers who like to wander on foot. CocoWalk anchors the shopping and dining scene a few blocks away, while Dinner Key Marina lines the water with masts and open sky. Green space is everywhere: Peacock Park spreads out near the center of the neighborhood, and the Barnacle Historic State Park preserves a piece of the Grove’s early bayside story. Just up the road, Vizcaya Museum and Gardens draws visitors to its formal gardens and villa overlooking Biscayne Bay.
Because the hotel puts you in the heart of Coconut Grove, most of what you will desire after a cruise is close at hand, from a quiet dinner to an afternoon by the marina. For rooms, parking, and check-in details, the property itself is the place to confirm what you require. When your driver pulls up at the entrance, you can hand off the bags, step inside, and start settling into the calmer, greener corner of Miami that gives this Grove address its character.
This is a private, terminal-to-door transfer: one vehicle reserved for your group alone, timed to your ship’s arrival and staged at the cruise terminal before you finish clearing the hall. Disembarkation mornings stack up speedy at the exits, so the plan is simple. Your driver coordinates the pickup by message as you walk off, meets you with luggage assist, and the included wait window absorbs a slow gangway. The wait is theirs, not yours.
From the pier it is one straight run toward Coconut Grove along US-1, with every bag loaded into the vehicle and nothing shared with strangers. The price already covers fuel, typical tolls, and full luggage assistance, so there is nothing to settle on the curb. Your chauffeur is bilingual in English and Spanish and works these terminals regularly, which keeps the handoff seamless at both ends. When you reach Sonesta Bayfront Hotel Coconut Grove, the drop-off is right at the door.
