It's intended as a destination in itself for equestrian purposes. Same owner as the property you recently reviewed.
Would it blow your mind if I told you a 3rd St Regis is also opening at the base of the palm? Around 2019 realistically (along with a second W on the west palm about a year earlier)
So as others said, 10 mins to SZR is not going to happen even without any traffic. Surely it won't be easy to get a cab especially in off-season.
It's in the middle on no where, I guess the nearest 'attraction' would be Global Village. For everything else, be prepared to ride a cab for at least half an hour.
