    Wow! Pala has created a wonderful pool area at the cost of several hundred employees who were let go so Pala could build this pool. So first there is no actual swimming pool there are about 8 lounging pools . You can't really swim because the pools are so small but I do like the idea of these lounge pool because if you're in a small group you can have your own little pool. They have several cabana's that cost up to $450 plus champagne. There's a decent size bar but the drinks are a little on the pricey side but hey that's what you get at a casino.

    Bring on the pool and drinks! Love Pala for all it has to offer...Jackpot!

    When the choice is to make between the Casinos in Southern California, hands down it is Pala! The property, staff and experience are the best. So relaxing and enjoyable with it's exclusive feel and size that keeps things on a personal level. Enjoy!

    We really enjoyed coming to Pala resort and casino. The energy here is serene The view from the rooms on the poolside are amazing. The restaurants onsite serve delicious food. The cave and the steakhouse specifically. The sushi is ok. Big course we are spoiled by big mike. I recommend coming here for a staycation.

    One cashier +one person making drinks= long ass lines ! This is for a concert really . Pala needs to put more staff working at the bar

    I recently was taken on a surprise trip to Pala Resort, Spa and Casino. Stayed 4 days and by far…read morethe best experience was the service, sports broadcasts and food at Luis Reyes ! Our server named, "Teresa" was absolutely fantastic. Serving multiple tables with tens of people all the while doing it with so much speed, grace effortless charm. So much so that my girlfriend and I asked to speak to the manager. We had to tell him how impressed and satisfied we were with her customer service. The manager was incredible as well. If the other 9 restaurants have the same type of manager and most importantly the service that , "Teresa" provided to us on such a big fight weekend ( UFC Adesanya fight and Fondura vs Thurman) I am sure they will have a loyal fallowing of customers. We ate and drank their every night ! I thanked my girlfriend so many times for surprising me with the trip to see the boxing fight I so desperately wanted to see ( by the way my guy lost ... Thurman urgh). I want to go back again for the fantastic service that , " Teresa " provides the guests at Luis Reys at Pala resort Spa and Casino. I don't care that we live 2 and a half hours away. That's how impressed I was with , " Teresa" and her manager and coworkers at Luis Reys. How far would you travel for the best customer service experience you can have a sports bar... ? ! ? !

    The hours of operation for Luis Rey's Sports Bar at Pala Casion suck…read more A "sports" bar not open for sports. College football kicks off at 9:00 AM on the west coast and lasts literally all day. Luis Rey's doesn't open until 4:00 PM on Fridays and Saturdays. The NFL kicks off at 10:00 AM on Sundays. Luis Rey's doesn't kick off until 1:00 PM. Sunday Night Football? You might miss the end of the game as Luis Rey's closes at 9:00 PM. They close at 9:00 on Thursdays also, so the end of the Thursday Night Football game is in jeopardy also. Monday Night Football? Forget it. Luis Rey's is closed Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. We never actually went to Luis Rey's. We stayed one night at Pala on a Saturday; we were attending a wedding nearby. We had to get to the venue about the time Luis Rey's opened, and we didn't return until after they closed. Looked like a decent bar. If only they were open when sports are being televised.

    We visited Pala for my mom's birthday, and she had a blast! The drive in on Highway 76 is pretty…read morewinding and curvy (east of interstate 15), but completely worth it. There's plenty of eateries and bars with live entertainment, even a gift shop. The casino itself is modern, clean, and has spotless restrooms. We started with a hearty breakfast and coffee at Pala Cafe, which was awesome. The staff here is super friendly and stepped in to help whenever we looked lost. A hotel guest even went out of her way to tell us how much she loved her room stay. Game-wise, they have a good variety from penny slots to high rollers, plus a great mix of classic machines. Like any casino, the slots are hit-or-miss; some pay out a bit, others are tight. Although there's a smoke-free area, the smell lingers so I did see some people wearing masks due to the smell. We loved the outdoor patio with umbrella tables for a quick breather. Overall, we had a fun experience and will definitely be back!

    Posting this as a warning to anyone visiting Pala…read more We stayed over Memorial Day weekend and were incorrectly charged over $800 at the pool. It took more than a week to get the issue resolved. Unfortunately, my family visited again this past weekend (June 4-7, 2026) and experienced another problem. This time, we were charged at a restaurant and sports bar that we never visited. As of today, no one from the casino has contacted us to apologize or make things right. We've spent hours on the phone with both our bank and the casino, with no meaningful resolution other than having to cancel our credit cards ourselves to prevent the charges from going through. We are extremely disappointed. Our family has been coming to Pala for more than 25 years, and it's upsetting to experience these issues. If these unauthorized charges are happening to other patrons as well, that is very concerning. What a shame to see a place we've enjoyed for so many years leave us feeling this way.
