Caribbean destinations are seeking to manage a profound post-outbreak visitor surge highlighted by a series of new flight options across several countries and strong 2023-2024 passenger growth projections around the region.

The Lexi has 64 rooms, all with finishes that reduce the effects of marijuana smoke. The resort also has a newly renovated pool area,
