We stayed at Gabriels when we went vacationing in the first week of December 2011. The guest house is located very close to the beach. The people are very nice, friendly, and helpful. However, they have strict rules regarding checking and checkout time. Their checking time is 11 am and we werent allowed to checking before that.
Also, we took a non-ac room, and it was quite small with a cramped bathroom, and a small TV. Room was decently priced. We spent Rs. 1500 for 3 nights and 3 days.
