More budget and Keys-kitsch are these big pink cabanas, where the efficiencies and suites are bright, the tiki huts are shady, the bedsheets are ***ghastly***, the beach swing is…um, swing-y and the ocean is (splash)…right there

Ma question est la suivante : je sais ce que veut dire cet adjectif, mais peut-il avoir, outre son sens habituel, un sens positif ? Ou dit-on bien ici que le linge de lit est horrible ?
