Barbados late deal, 7 nights, £835, Jan 27

Barbados

Virgin Holidays has a Barbados late deal from £835. Don’t we all want to escape the rain and head for a Caribbean island in the sun. Grab this offer and you’ll be flying off from Manchester with Virgin Atlantic on January 27, so not long to wait.

You’ll stay room-only at the 3V Time Out Hotel in St Lawrence Gap. Price based on two sharing a standard room. The hotel gets a 76 per cent thumbs-up from TripAdvisor reviewers. There are mixed reviews but one recent guest was very happy: “This hotel is good value for money. Pleasant rooms, attractive pool, near a pleasant beach and close to good restaurants. Free WIFI and computer use. The staff were on the whole helpful. We would recommend it.”
