I love Holiday Inn La Sabana

I led a school group of 9 people, divided into 7 rooms. Everyone had a very pleasant stay, and the staff at Holiday Inn La Sabana is first rate. Excellent care and attention, and wonderful breakfast. The food options at Chi Chis could be better, though, and less expensive. Otherwise, a great hotel! I'll be back again in the future.

This Holiday Inn is a little disappointing

Pillows are too soft, bed sheets are too thick for comfort sleep without turning on AC for very cold temperature. Breakfast are of low quality some smell like overnight leftovers.
