Sylph, As you know my hair flows to midback length. So I feel you on this issue.
However I know the flip side of this.
Long hair is considered 'wrong' by the majority, and whilst they have come to visit with all the primitive brown natives, I can assure you that many of those rich white people really don't want a brown primitive native left alone with their stuff, or allowed access to their rooms.
Thus shoring your primitive cultures long locks equates in their mind that you are less primitive (but still we all know brown skins are what they are, right?)
The hotel knows their clientele and they will cowtow to that clientele because of the money those rich white people bring to the hotel and the island.
Most likely the hotel actually feels much the way you do, its not a big deal - but it is a big deal if they want to compete, stay in business and turn a profit.
Same applies to tats, piercings, men wearing dresses - etc.... Image sells rooms.
Sorry Love.
