While it was a bit tricky to find in the dark, when we arrived at the Mermaid Suite we were completely won over. The beds were comfortable and the facilities adequate but what really did it was the overall vibe of Topanga and the breathtaking scenery. David was a very communicative host and everything we needed was provided. One thing to keep in mind is that, keeping with the theme of 'communal', thin walls can make you quite conscious of the shared space.
