Where does the car drop you at The Ritz-Carlton, South Beach in Miami Beach, and what does the resort say about valet?

At The Ritz-Carlton, South Beach, 1 Lincoln Road, the car drops you at the hotel; the hotel's own page says on-site valet is available at $70 per day, that check-in is at 4 p.m. and check-out at 11 a.m., and names Miami International as the closest airport (The Ritz-Carlton, n.d.).

The Ritz-Carlton, South Beach is at 1 Lincoln Road, Miami Beach, Florida 33139. The hotel's page says on-site valet parking is available with a daily valet fee of $70 per day, that the check-in time is 4 p.m. and the check-out time 11 a.m., that pets are welcome, and that the closest airport is Miami International. (The Ritz-Carlton, n.d.).

Not on the pages I read: a self-parking rate; where the valet stand or the drop-off is; an airport transfer; 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.
