My stay at the hotel was a mix of good and bad experiences. While the rooms were nicely appointed and comfortable, I was disappointed by the decline in cleanliness and attention to safety protocols compared to my previous visits. The service could have been better, especially in terms of maintaining cleanliness. Despite these drawbacks, the amenities and entertainment options were enjoyable.

The hotel has some highlights such as clean and well-designed rooms, as well as a beautiful pool area that is perfect for relaxation. However, the overall experience was overshadowed by excessive construction noise and issues with service, especially at the dining establishments. The dining options could greatly improve, as they seemed limited and lacking in quality. It's evident that management has challenges to address for a better guest experience.

My stay was a blend of highs and lows. The cabana experience was absolutely fantastic, offering a luxurious and comfortable space to unwind, while the construction chaos throughout the hotel really detracted from the overall ambiance. On the plus side, the cleanliness of the rooms stood out, but the service was less than ideal, particularly during check-in, which was frustrating. I hope they get everything sorted out soon.

My stay at the Pala Resort was mixed. The pool area was lovely, and the staff by the pool were delightful, especially Ariana. However, the overall experience was marred by the heavy smoke smell throughout the hotel and some plumbing issues in our room. While the location offered easy access to amenities, it wasn't quite the relaxing escape I'd hoped for.

My stay was quite disappointing overall. While the rooms appeared nice and the food options were commendable, the staff's lack of attentiveness and the management's apparent disconnect significantly affected my experience. Additionally, the hotel's pool policy left much to be desired, especially for families. It's a shame as it has potential, but I wouldn't recommend it if you have young children.
