I think people didn't like punk hazard because they still had a bitter Taste in their mouth from fish man island, so they wanted to defend their theory that "one piece fell off post time skip". Some of them anyways. I personally felt it could have been cut down a volume if it was build-up for doflamingo. Punk hazard doesn't really hold a candle to dress rosa though...Sabo, Bartolomeo, Doflamingo, new admiral, tournament, Spanish/Italian setting, lots of plot twists (who would've thought sanji and the others would have flat out left the island? To say nothing of SABO coming back), this is a contender for best arc IMO.
