A sunny Thurs in Jan. There were about 24 people there at 2pm (can comfortably sleep 12-14, despite being a 10 bunk hut) There is not a room on the floor. Go early, or bring a tent, or be prepared for same day return. Maybe go later in the season if you don't enjoy being a sardine. We were prepared to go back down but about cried at missing an amazing sunset. Definitely going back.

Epic sunsets (probably the best one i have ever seen)!!! Try to get there by mid day at the latest to secure a spot.
