Hotel and Resort Pickup Notes
Paradise Resort Surfers Paradise is one of the Gold Coast’s most family-focused accommodation options, featuring extensive pools, waterslides, and dedicated kids’ facilities. The resort is located in Surfers Paradise, approximately 15 to 20 minutes from Gold Coast Airport, making it a quick and easy arrival after a domestic or international flight.
Families travelling to Paradise Resort often arrive with substantial gear — prams, portable cots, children’s beach bags, and multiple large suitcases. We recommend a Kia Carnival for families of four to six, as it provides the boot space and passenger room to handle this load comfortably. For larger families, a Maxi Taxi ensures the whole group travels together.
Child seats, infant capsules, and booster seats are available on request. Pre-book your seat type when reserving your transfer. If you have multiple children of different ages requiring different seat types, note all requirements at booking so we can configure the vehicle correctly before your pickup.
Return transfers from Paradise Resort to the airport can be booked in advance or arranged during your stay. For early morning check-out days, pre-book your return transfer at the same time as your arrival transfer to guarantee availability.
