HELP!! Need help to reduce girlfriend's spending

Options
Looking for best price on this holiday can you help.

The One and Only St Geran Mauritius, Half Board, first class air fare (may be business class), 2 adults 1 X double room.

We would like 2 weeks anytime in September/ very early October (need to be back for 14 Oct).

(We are generally flexible - would like 2 weeks in Mauritius in a 5* deluxe hotel and a comfortable flight.)

Any ideas??

    In that case, I think her spending has been reduced as far as it can be.
