This game has a very interesting concept. Most "building" games on BFG tend to have predesigned lots, and you just choose which item you want to put in each spot...
Paradise beach leaves decisions as to location completely up to you. You can completely obliterate the space, hardly having room to place anything, or you can neatly line things up side by side for the most efficient layout.
Overall, I'd say the game is closer to a fast-paced RollerCoaster Tycoon, rather than the Build-A-Lot games that are frequently seen around here.
If you like RollerCoaster Tycoon, and other "open-ended, but with goals" type games, you'll likely enjoy this one.
I recommend this game!

If you're familiar with the puzzle game "Zumba", you'll definitely like this. It's the same concept, but with outfits rather than stones, and you have the option to add additional outfits to increase difficulty.
If you like Zumba, I'd recommend it. If not, this isn't the game for you. I don't think it actually really qualifies as "time management", but, alas, that's not for me to decide.
I don't recommend this game.

Even if you meet the expert goal on every level of a location, you still won't have every upgrade by the end of that location, and once you go to the next, it resets all of your upgrades.
Since you can't go back and redo particular levels without resetting your entire game, it makes your effort to get those upgrades feel a bit wasted.
Had they even added a few more levels to each location, it would have felt a lot more rewarding. Overall, I played through the majority of the demo hour, but I felt no desire to actually make the purchase on this one.
I don't recommend this game.
