I find this deal shocking, but I do know that CheapCaribbean.com is a legit company so it must be real. They have packages including 7 nights in a hotel in Barbados and roundtrip air from Charlotte, North Carolina starting at $299 in September, and $399 in October. Those prices don’t include taxes and service charges, so that adds just over $100 per person, but still, how can they afford to do this? If you fly from Boston it’s $50 higher, but that still means for a bit over $900 a couple can fly from Boston to Barbados including a hotel for 7 nights, and even breakfast each day.

If I lived on the East Coast I’d probably jump at this deal myself. Sure, those months are during the so-called hurricane season, but the chances of actually getting hit by one are very small, and people always know several days in advance so the chances of anything really bad happening are basically zero. I’m a gambler, and this sounds like a really good bet to save a ton of money on a relaxing week in the Caribbean.
