I agree Shay! You have expressed this very well.
One more quick point. I know the locals and San Pedranos read this board as well. If everything is sugar coated, that's nice, but not realistic. If there is a problem that the tourists have noticed I think it would be to their ADVANTAGE to know what's not right and have the opportunity to correct it. If the owners of these businesses don't know about it, how can they fix it? They are in the tourist business right? Although I don't agree with slamming and being rude, I don't see anything wrong with good old fashioned honesty.
