The ocean view was marvelous The room was clean and well appointed (although a comfortable reading chair would have been appreciated). The climb to the room was bracing, but w came to hike so it didn't dissuade us from going out.
If you are in shape and want a stunning view this place is for you! The steps are no lie and after a full night can be a bit challenging in the heat and humidity to climb. Overall would recommend for the view alone! The shower is one of the smallest I've ever been in and the light switches are bizarrely placed but other than that it is a fantastic location and place to stay!
