Hilton Miami Airport Blue Lagoon? Anyone stay there>

[wolft927]

So, Wife and I have stayed many times downtown Miami pre cruise and this time we are only coming in for one night precruise and honestly we are sick of paying $50 or more for parking by the Port. We wont be arriving until around 3 or 4pm (Driving from NC) so we chose the Hilton Miami Airport Blue Lagoon. We got the 1 bedroom suite with screened in balcony. Can anyone give me some insight on the hotel and maybe even the suite itself? We see there is a restaurant and bar which is great. 

 

Any info or comments o your stay would be great!

I stayed at The Pullman I Know it's not where you are staying). FYI, there was a Publix store, and liquor store on the next block up ( I think it's Flagger Blvd?).  Good place to grab some snacks for the cruise, or grab soothing to eat on your balcony.  Nice quite area with a good view of airlines as they approach.

We have stayed at this property twice.

 

We like it.  Rooms are very nice.  Bar and restaurant are fine. Large bar area, there's always been some kind of game on the large screen we've wanted to watch.  We've done dinners in the large bar, and, the breakfast buffet.

 

We will probably stay here again for our Sept Horizon cruise.

After looking around we've decided to go back to the old faithful Hilton Blue Lagoon on Sept 27th, 2024.

We just (Feb 22nd) stayed one night pre-cruise at the Hampton Inn Suites Blue Lagoon. So happy with this hotel and location. Right across the street from several restaurants and a Publix market etc. We'll be staying again with extended family in May.

Looking for a place for 10 adults for a pre cruise stay ages 91 - 40. Something not crazy expensive, but we need a clean place, in a safe area, and something in relatively good condition. We will probably do public transportation so parking won’t be a problem. Recommendations for transportation for a large group welcome as well. We’ll probably walk to dinner on Valentines Day so being within walking distance of a decent restaurant (maybe seafood) would be a bonus.

It’s fine and it’s quiet. It’s a Hampton. Staff very nice a year ago. Coffeemaker, microwave, fridge, spacious bathroom and room, with plenty of space for loads of luggage overnight. Restaurant on 2nd floor.

So we planned on driving, but flights went down to the point that getting nonstop flights to Miami is actually the same price as driving after including gas, terminal parking, and incidentals for the drive down. 

 

I am sure they have a shuttle service to the cruise port was curious if anyone has used it and what was the cost.

Hampton Inn Suites Blue Lagoon they have a comp shuttle from MIA to their hotel and their shuttle to the POM was $14.00pp. We'll be doing this again mid May.

Thanks, $14 PP seems reasonable, will look and see what an UBER costs as well. We are on the MSC Seascape September 28th 2024. Depending when they start shuttles will determine if we do and Uber instead.

I believe it was 10/11/12/1 for the shuttle times.

[wolft927]

Just estimated an Uber looks like about $27 plus tip. so about the same as a shuttle so think we may just Uber!

It is usually better to start your own topic since you are really asking a different question.

The Hilton Blue Lagoon is a very nice hotel and I think a great location. I've stayed there on business several times and even hosted a few meetings there and everyone has liked the hotel. Being at the end of the island makes it seem very private.
