That is definitely a once in a lifetime experience. We went there for the sunset like I think everyone going there. So theres a pretty big crowd. But I mean the whole experience is just magical. The ruin looks beautiful. The sunset from there is something else. You definitely should go and experience this for yourself. Just please keep in mind that it's insanely windy up there

As good as you hope it would be! Captures your heart from the drive along the coast. Recommend arriving at least 45 minutes before the sunset to get that special sun through the temple shot. No food or drink allowed to be consumed in the grounds however great picnic spot anywhere outside the restaurant with a lovely view of the temple and the surrounds.
