Where does the car drop you at Margaritaville Hollywood Beach Resort in Hollywood, and what does the resort say about valet?

How we source facts

At Margaritaville Hollywood Beach Resort, 1111 N Ocean Dr, the resort's own FAQ puts Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood 7 miles away and Miami International 24.5, offers self-parking or valet nightly with a 7 ft garage limit, runs no airport shuttle, and checks in at 4 p.m. (Margaritaville Hollywood Beach Resort, n.d.).

Call the concierge

Margaritaville Hollywood Beach Resort is at 1111 N Ocean Dr, Hollywood, FL 33019. The FAQ calls Fort Lauderdale International Airport (FLL) the closest, at 7 miles, and puts Miami International Airport (MIA) 24.5 miles away. It says the resort does not offer a shuttle service, that taxis are plentiful at nearby airports, and recommends a rideshare car service for the return to the airport. Parking: overnight guests can self-park or use valet, per night plus taxes for valet, and the garage maximum height is 7 feet; large vehicles may incur an additional valet fee. Check-in is at 4 p.m., early check-in is offered if the room is ready, and bags can be stored until then; check-out is at 11 a.m. (Margaritaville Hollywood Beach Resort, n.d.).

Not on the pages I read: the drop-off point or entrance; how long the drive from FLL takes; 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 FLL, 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.
