I'd like a nice contrast to Amanzoe, but the resorts on Santorini may be too busy/touristy for me. looking for an island hotel/resort that has excellent service and also a full list of activities. all thoughts/ideas appreciated!
Skip Santorini and spend your time exploring Crete. Amirandes, Blue Palace and/or Lux Me may not be Aman-level luxury, but they are excellent and what Crete has to offer more than makes up for it -- you'll spend far less time tied to the hotel grounds!
