Secrets Tides vs Royal Beach vs The Vine

I am trying to narrow down between these (3) Secrets, but having trouble choosing one. Could you please help me decide based on the following parameters?

Trying not to upgrade to PC, but if it's a must I'm open to it. Looking for good rated food (For Secrets standards). Looking for nice rooms- A ocean view basic room is a plus (Not having to upgrade). Will be with a few friends, so looking for a bit livelier atmosphere than standard and some good activities/entertainment staff.

Which of the (3) Secrets resorts would you suggest for me?

Amorgos 5 Nights

I'm having trouble determining where to stay in Amorgos. I will be there 5 nights (Arriving 15:00) and most of day 6 (Leaving 19:00).

I am arriving in Katapola port. I am thinking of staying in this area (Either Katalopa, Chora, or the area between them) for 3 nights. There seems to be more things to do on this side of the island, so that's why I figure 3 nights.

I will be departing from Aegiali port on day 6, so I am thinking of spending 2 nights on the Aegiali side (Aegiali, Lagada, or Tholaria).

One of the stays I would like to be near the water while the other in one of the villages. I will have a car all of the days. For those who have been to Amorgos, I would love to hear your reccomendations! Thank you

I am traveling to Greece in early September. I am wondering if the ferry prices shown on Ferryhopper tend to change in price or if the price I see now will be the same in September? Of course I plan to book the ferry before my trip, not day of.

Similar question for flights. I am flying from Athens to Naxos. Google Flights shows this route for the timeslot I need is $144 which seems a bit high. Not sure if I should wait or just book the flight now.

For my trip in September, in order to maximize island time, I am planning to take the overnight Blue Star ferry from Amorgos to Piraeus the night before my flight. My flight is at 19:30 and the ferry would be 19:00 (The day before) and arrives at 05:00.

Since it is a slow main-line ferry, this shouldn't be risky right? Even if the delay is many hours, I still have a lot of time before my flight. Thoughts?

I will be visiting Greece at the beggining of September for 14 nights/15 days. I will be visiting Naxos, Koufonisia, and Amorgos. This is my skeleton itinerary I have so far.

Day 1: Fly from Athens to Naxos, arrive on Naxos around 12:15.

Nights 1-6: Naxos (6 nights)

Day 7: Take 25 minute ferry to Koufonisia, arrive on Koufonisia 13:05

Nights 7-8: Koufonisia (2 nights)

Day 9: Take 40 minute ferry to Amorgos, arrive on Amorgos 15:10

Nights 9-12: Amorgos (4 nights)

I have 2 more nights that I need to figure out what to do with. Not sure if I should add days to the (3) islands I am already visiting, or maybe direct them somewhere else? These (3) islands lack lively nightlife, so I was possibly considering coming back to Piraues a night or two early and spending that time somewhere on the Riviera. Amorgos-Paros would also be an option, as Paros has great nightlife, but not sure if it's worth the detour. I can remove (1) night from Naxos, if it makes sense to make an additional island work.

On day 15, my flight out of Athens is at 19:00, so that could be a travel day from the islands with a slow ferry, if need be.

Thoughts and suggestions?
