"Check in was easy. Our room was very spacious, clean, and very comfortable! I loved the deep soaking tub and separate shower. The restaurants were good. We loved the pool area, and since there were only two other people using the pool, we had a jacuzzi and pool all to ourselves! The staff was also very friendly and helpful. We visited family that was staying at Harrah’s, and I preferred Pala’s rooms over theirs. We will definitely stay here again!"
