Holidaying with others?

I’m big believer in the ‘uh oh’ feeling aka trust your instincts.

And I’ve got uh oh feeling about this holiday.

It’s for six of us, my DH, his parents (for their anniversary as they didn’t want a party), his brother and his DP.

His parents are nice and down to earth. I’m sure we could have a couple of nice nights having dinner. His brother is alright- we’ve only had polite conversation but alright. His new girlfriend I’ve met briefly a couple of times as seems like a complete killjoy/arrogant/above the rest of us.

They’ve posted a few links to all inclusives in Spain/Zante/holiday islands for October which is nearly cracking on for £1000 each for two weeks. They’re not even 5 star hotels in the heart of everything, more of a 15- 45 taxi to anything else apart from the complex with large pools, 1000s of bedrooms and 4 restaurants to go with it.

Two weeks in one place just seems boring. I’ve never done an all inclusive so could be fun but two weeks with people that are just alright.

If I bail I’ve ruined the anniversary for everyone as my DP won’t go without me and I’ll just seem like a killjoy. Maybe I’m asking if anyone has been in my position and it’s been great? Even some recommendations of hotels that are near some culture/affordable/less UH OH?

What about a cruise? There's lots to do and you can easily hide from people when you want to.
