Travel challenge: The best price for an island holiday?

Every week, we invite competing companies to give us their best deal for a particular journey. Today: an all- inclusive family holiday over the Easter holidays on an Atlantic or Caribbean island, departing from Gatwick on 4 April.

From our search, it is clear that demand is very strong and availability is limited. Prices given here are for the grand total, based on two adults and two children sharing.
