Last year, my sister and her boyfriend, the boyfriend's parents and my mum went on holiday together.
I think my mum felt the way that you felt, because she has mobility issues and couldn't get about easily, and they wanted to go and do their own thing so she was left on her own.
I think that the details of such a holiday, where people might want to different things and have different needs, need to be discussed and worked out before the holiday (vacation) begins. Perhaps agree that people do their own thing during the day, and then meet up in the evening. Or agree that one meal should be cooked in the apartment, and one eaten out, or that there should be a quiet time after a certain hour, or for a couple of ours in the afternoon, etc. In that situation, compromises need to be agreed on at the beginning, and if the parties are unwilling to compromise, then it's best not to go on holiday together.
I think that @Pats ' family handled the situation badly and were very unfair to her. They were selfish. They should have taken on board these issues, and made an effort to be more accommodating of Pats.
