Pala Casino Spa And Resort

10/10 Excellent
"The building, room, and amenities were all clean and well maintained. The pool area was a great place to just relax and enjoy a few hours. The staff was more than helpful and accommodating. We asked for extra pillows and they were very prompt and courteous providing them. Although all eateries were not open we were well taken care of at the Pala Cafe."
