All inclusive Caribbean deals??

9 replies

Am I deluding myself or are there any bargain priced AI deals/hotels to be had in Caribbean? Pref less than £3.5k for 2 weeks

Family of 4 (DCs 11 & 8) looking to go in the summer hols. Open minded which island but a reasonable standard of hotel with plenty to do, not too huge.

yes, you are deluding yourself - sorry. school summer hols we are paying more than this for a villa self catering in crete. your flights alone could easily come to this.

have a look at someone like virgin holidays and price it up from there. cheapest I can find is £1200 per person or £4.8K and that isn't fully ai either.

I'm sure we didn't pay much more than that for Cuba a couple of years ago. It's a lovely country too.

You might get something in Dom Rep, Cuba or Jamaica.
I'd look in the Virgin website for ideas then shop around.

We've been to the Caribbean several times in the summer hols and, bar a short tropical downpour, had a great time. it is hurricane season so good insurance is essential.

Ooh thank you. Yes AI from London, 12-14 nights. Flying out flexible between 20/7 and 1/8

Hope this link works. Virgin and the rest are out of the picture, the cheapest I could find was 6K. But Thomas Cook (and I think maybe Thomson) fly charters which are cheaper.
Cuba 2 weeks AI at £3726

We just got a deal £4k 10 nights in Jamaica but we are going in April. It's our honeymoon, begged the school to show clemency and not fine us. They agreed!
Aware it could be more in peak season.
