Holiday sleeping for 20months old

We are going to the Canaries with our 20month old who sleeps in a single floor bed at home im her own room.
She won't be going in to a travel cot I am sure, so I am thinking about what would be the best option for us.

-intex inflatable toddler bed? - it says from age 3,
would this be still safe and OK for a 20month old?

Or

-inflatable bed guards - we are staying in an apartment so we could have her sleeping in the bedroom with these and we could sleep in the living room.

Anyone with experiences of either or both? Help me decide please!!

I remember going on holiday with my then 22 month old DS who had never slept in a cot in his life (exclusive bed sharing from birth then single floor bed) and trying to work out the same thing. Resort had put the travel cot up already when we got there, he was intrigued and did, inexplicably, sleep in it all week. Apart from the odd bit of the night between us in the bed. So you never know!

Is there a sofa bed in the living room? If it’s in a resort maybe them if they can provide bed guards, they may have them. I wouldn’t trust inflatable ones. Depending on the size of the room you might be able to pull the mattress on to the floor and the bed frame to one side, we did this in a few holiday places too
