Hi
The issue is the lack of non-swim-up rooms 
There are only two other rooms available whichever date I check 
You cant get 3 non-swim-up rooms on any date in September 
If you can live with one of the rooms being swim up then the cheapest price is 4/9/24 - direct inc dsale code £7589 (£2529pp) - my price £2467pp

Could you find a package holiday All inclusive 5 star Hotel. From Birmingham to Jamaica.

Hopefully you can find anything for £2000 pp. 

I was told September is the cheapest month for Jamaica, if you can find anything in August or September would be fine. 

3 Adults 3 rooms

Next cheapest is Ocean Coral Spring in Trelawny, Jamaica at £2067pp - again 3 rooms etc
