Some of this is caused by Hotels offering cheap breaks to encourage the younger people in, It's an easy system to beat, So two people book the rooms all legitimate, then their mates book cheap flights only to the Island on any of the cheap airlines, once on the Island they meet up with their mates and doss in their hotel rooms free of charge. It has been going on for years and years. They are out on the streets all night and asleep all day keeping a low profile.
And the hoteliers have the cheek to cast doubt on the quality of private rentals! Atleast there are sufficient bedrooms/bathrooms/sunbeds for occupants in villas,mostly lovingly maintained by owners.The majority of renters have tried the hotel experience and will never go back to it. If the hotels are overcrowded and rental sector destroyed by fear ,where will they all sleep next summer? On the beach? Answers on a post card to Sr Barcelo!
So now you are cramming tourists in poky hotel rooms like Sardines,which shows the contempt and lack of respect that you have for tourists,all they are to you is a walking cash machine well,you won't be doing that for much longer because more and more of us are going elsewhere to countries that make us welcome and offer better value for hard-earned money.
