Day pass experience in Miami post cruise

[UMTerp]

I made a mistake by not looking at the location of the day pass I purchased to spend time after our cruise.  I purchased a day pass for the Hotel Riu Plaza Miami Beach 3101 Collins Ave, Miami Beach, FL 33140-4108.  The price was good ($60 for two people for towels and use of the pool/beach).  However, the taxi ride to get there was $70 + tip.  The ride from there to the airport was $55 + tip.  I would have been better off booking the cruise line's excursion after the cruise.  It was raining off and on so we couldn't really enjoy the pool/beach.  We did sit out by the pool some and read.  We had lunch at the poolside bar.  Prices were high.  Just wanted to post my experience for others.
