How we source facts

At the Fontainebleau Miami Beach, 4441 Collins Avenue, the car drops you at the hotel; its own FAQ says standard check-in is 4 p.m. with luggage held at the bell desk for early arrivals, prints valet for hotel guests at $58 to $73 a night plus tax, and says private airport transfers are available on request (Fontainebleau Miami Beach, n.d.).

Fontainebleau Miami Beach is at 4441 Collins Avenue, Miami Beach, FL 33140. The FAQ says standard check-in is 4 p.m., that guests may process check-in on arrival and store luggage at the bell desk until the room is ready, and lists valet parking for hotel guests at $58 to $73 per night plus tax, with restaurant guests validating their ticket before returning to the valet. It says the concierge arranges airport transportation, limousine and car rental services, that taxi fares to and from the Miami airport vary, and its transportation page says private transfers from the airport are available upon request and gives the address. (Fontainebleau Miami Beach, n.d.).

Not on the pages I read: check-out time; self-parking; the drop-off point or entrance; a house car. Resorts change valet rates and house-car hours without notice, so the page's own words are checked by a daily watch, and the desk confirms the door with the resort's bell desk the day before an arrival.

What the car does: from MIA, or any airport or private terminal, the captain meets you where the airport's rules allow, watches the flight, and drops you at the resort's porte-cochère or the entrance the bell desk names, with waiting after landing included; the resort's own concierge can arrange a transfer too, and its page says so, so compare the two on price and on what each includes. The fare here is agreed before the car moves, and you see it before you book.
