A strip, not a point

The Zona Hotelera runs along a sandbar between the lagoon and the sea, and hotels are addressed by kilometre marker rather than by street. A hotel at the far southern end is a good deal further from the airport than nineteen kilometres, so tell the supplier the marker rather than just the zone.
