University of Bristol caretaker Herman Gordon and his wife Denise spent two nights at Sandals Royal Caribbean Resort & Private Island in Montego Bay after over 230 students and supporters raised £1,500.
It was the first time Herman, who has worked at the university for 12 years, had been able to return to his home country for almost a decade.
He came to the UK aged 12 as part of the Windrush generation.
Video footage of his reaction as he was presented with the cash for his flights by the student who organised the collection went viral in June.
