    The Holiday Dates: 23rd June for 7 nights, can be flexible but MUST be in Barbados for 28th June
    The number of people travelling (inc kids ages): 3 (2 adults and 1 infant of 18 months at time of travel)
    The Hotel (or * if it’s allocate on arrival): Turtle Beach but can consider others if very nearby
