Travel challenge: An off-season Caribbean holiday

Every week we invite competing companies to give us their best deal for a specific holiday. Today: a seven-night holiday in the Caribbean out of season. Prices are per person, based on two travelling together in mid-July.

"Spread over 32 acres of landscaped gardens, this resort features extensive land and water-based activities and a great selection of dining.
