510picker Posted June 29, 2010 #5 Share Posted June 29, 2010 What is approx. cab fare from the airport/to the port from this hotel? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
royalcruz Posted June 30, 2010 #6 Share Posted June 30, 2010 What is approx. cab fare from the airport/to the port from this hotel? About $25 including tip should cover it. This is the only hotel in the middle of the Las Olas district. There is the Hampton Inn a few blocks away but I wouldn't recommend walking to/from it after dark, and there is a small lodge, the Kira-Mar, just east of the area (safe to walk there) but a bit of a walk.

Re. taxi cost from airport to port of Miami: I checked it out on another thread and noticed that the price ranged between $18-$20 PLUS TIP...depending on how difficult it is for the driver to arrive at the drop off area. Some said they were backed-up in a line at the port waiting for those in front to move on...all the while the meter 's running. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
