The
small
resort
of
Palama
____________________
out
rather
in
the
1990s
,
as
the
tourists
flocked
to
the
more
obvious
attractions
of
the
nearby
resorts
of
Calapo
and
del
Mare
.
But
now
,
thanks
to
a
major
new
hotel
development
plan
,
business
is
____________________
up
,
and
Palama
is
more
than
____________________
up
for
its
past
poor
showing
and
unfashionable
image
.
The
kindest
thing
one
can
say
about
Palama
is
that
it
____________________
on
you
if
you've
been
staying
there
for
long
enough
.
It
is
being
____________________
up
in
many
quarters
as
a
shining
example
of
the
latest
retro
-
style
of
modern
hotel
architecture
,
but
as
far
as
this
observer
is
concerned
,
it
only
occasionally
____________________
up
to
its
billing
.
