Since our most enjoyable stay at Pala last December, construction crews have descended upon this once stylish resort and wreaked havoc with the interior layout. Gone is the famous non-smoking casino room (which was originally two rooms). The west-end of the casino area is completely gutted and boarded up. A non-smoking "area" has been created at the hotel end of the building, between Mama's Cucina and the Cabaret Room. Of course it doesn't work. Smokers ignore the signs and security staff ignore the smokers. I asked a casino manager if the non-smoking room would be included in the renovations and he replied it was unlikely. So Pala is reduced to being just another average casino. What a shame.
The buffet has been moved to a conference room area with limited menu. Dining at the cafe is accompanied by the delightful sound of the circular saw and a view of boarded up walls.
Construction is scheduled for completion in May. We won't rush back.
