thanks for the responses. not begging for argument at all, by the way, just expressing my humble opinion.

we left on holy saturday and didn't get a chance to make close friends with any locals, unfortunately. everyone on the island was very friendly and kind. we didn't see any place or business that we did not like.

i did not mean to degrade any hotel on the beautiful island, i just wanted to reaffirm that we were very satisfied with our choice. please don't read any more into this response other than is written here. we loved the island and everyone we met and found every establishment very accomodating.
