    Hi all

    My fiancee and I are trying to book our honeymoon and of course are looking for the best that we can get for our money!

    We have been quoted;

    Price: 2633GBP
    Operator: Turquoise Holidays
    Destination: Mauritius
    Hotel: The Residence
    Board Basis: Half Board
    Duration: 9 nights
    Depating: 9th June 2010
    Airport: London Heathrow
    Transfers: Included
    Extras: Champagne and fruit on arrival, butler service, catamaran cruise for two with lunch

    However we were hoping to depart on the 7th, go all inclusive and stay for 10 nights.

    Our budget is 3000 total!

    So if anyone can offer an alternative (we don't mind changing hotel or going elsewhere in the Indian Ocean if necessary) please let us know.

    Thanks

    Meg and Leigh
