Ewe you are right, but have you ever known a man with big enough balls to say no to Mummy?
My experience of a group holiday was years ago. Like you I organised it all, we had no children with us so it was an adults only affair. What could go wrong I hear you ask.
Everyone paid up fair & square, so no grumbles in that department. We got in the property and this woman who liked to assert herself was like 'Oh there's a gorgeous bedroom with an ensuite jacuuzi. We'll have that room. I said no way, we organised this, I picked it specifically as pretty much everyone would get a bathroom to themselves, but that room was ours. There was the first argument of the holiday in minutes of getting there, I wasn't backing down, DH said just let them have that room, I stuck to my guns and said there's a hot tub jacuzzi outside. My back plays up, I booked this with the purpose of that room being ours.
Then you have Alpha chef wars, so one friend was like we all put £50 in and the friend and wife would go shopping. Only trouble was I was a bit panicky as I know most of them liked spicey food, I knew I'd be stood like a rabbit eating salad and bread.
Then you have the Alpha organiser wars, who is drawing up like excursions and walks for each day. Again I worked really hard, I had a bad back, so walking for miles wasn't my thing. The Alpha organiser also picked TV and what we'd watch. It just so happened you may as well call it Alpha male wars, as the same couple were in charge of everything.
One movie or one song from a movie I hated was that one from Donnie Darko, I really wasn't much of a fan of that genre it was a total head fuck. I was quite young too, so I wasn't afraid of saying oh I'm going to go and read a book upstairs. But the TV was so loud you couldn't think, so I think I went downstairs and queried if they were deaf. I was truly having a miserable time of it, as DH back then wouldn't say no to anyone. The next movie was Harry Potter, again not a fan as I was reading it, I wanted to get through the books first.
I was getting told off for not socialising, but I didn't think being on holiday together meant you had to be together all the time.
By the third day and third meal plan, outing plan and movie plan for the day, I was tempted to call up my Dad and say we're off home. Or I'm coming home, I had a touch of PND too, my vision of the holiday would be like it's a base we all do our own thing then meet at a pub. I mentioned when we were going for a pub meal, Alpha male although they could afford it, were all we've got our excursion, meal and entertainment plan. If I wasn't up at the crack of dawn they'd be gone all day. Part of the purpose of the break was to recharge batteries, not drain them further.
Anyway we both ended up leaving early as DH felt I was being rude, not getting up for mammoth walks, not enjoying the food and not being into the entertainment. He was really pissed off with me as he said he felt he let down his mates. It just happened that I had a different idea of what the time away would be like, Alpha male really had everyone eating out of his hand.
So I think you might enjoy having your own place away from them. In theory you spend a day or couple of days together and all is great, but a week altogether, you'll see sides to people you didn't realise existed. You could go for meals, you can go for day trips, then have your own place at night.
Best of luck.
