Asia Novo: Cabuyao's Hidden Gem? Luxury Awaits!
Asia Novo: Cabuyao's "Hidden Gem"? Let's Get Real. (SEO-Powered Review, with a Twist!)
Okay, folks, buckle up. Forget the polished PR fluff. I've just escaped (temporarily, I hope) the concrete jungle and landed in the Philippines, specifically Cabuyao, to experience the supposed "Luxury Awaits!" that Asia Novo promises. Honestly? My expectations were… skeptical. But let's get messy with this review, shall we? This isn't just about the amenities; it's about the vibe, the service, the soul of the place.
(SEO-Friendly Intro, because let's be honest, that's why we're here! Keywords are sprinkled liberally throughout. 😉)
Asia Novo Cabuyao – is it really a hidden gem? Or just another hotel trying to stay afloat? This luxury hotel in Cabuyao, Laguna, is banking on attracting travelers looking for a relaxing getaway, offering everything from a swimming pool to a spa. This review dives deep, covering everything you need to know about accessibility, cleanliness, dining, things to do, and most importantly, whether it's worth your hard-earned cash. Bonus: We'll find out if that Free Wi-Fi in all rooms! actually works. The truth, and my gut reaction to it all!
(Accessibility)
Alright, first things first: Accessibility. Listen, I'm not wheelchair-bound, but I appreciate a place that thinks about folks who are. Asia Novo claims to have Facilities for disabled guests. And they have an elevator. That's good. However, I didn't see specific ramps everywhere, and the layout seemed a touch tight in some areas. So… mixed bag. I'd call ahead if you have specific needs.
(On-site Restaurants & Lounges - Food, Glorious Food!)
Okay, this is where things get interesting. The restaurants are decent. There's an Asian Cuisine in restaurant which I did enjoy. I had a tasty salad in restaurant for lunch. The coffee shop was… well, it served coffee. The Poolside bar was the real winner. Sipping a cocktail by the pool and watching the sun set? Pure bliss. Though the bar service did take a while at times, and I did notice a slight lack of attention to the tables from the staff at the pool. Maybe they were understaffed that day?
(Internet, Internet, Internet! The Lifeblood of Modern Travelers)
Free Wi-Fi in all rooms! YES! And… it mostly works. Sometimes. Okay, sometimes it’s like watching paint dry. But on balance it's acceptable. The Internet access – wireless is certainly more reliable than the Internet [LAN] option (yes, they still have those!). Let's be honest, we're all attached to our devices these days, and even a slightly dodgy connection is better than none.
(Things to do, Ways to Relax)
This is where Asia Novo shines. The swimming pool is gorgeous. And the Pool with view definitely lives up to the promise. The spa is a treat. I splurged for a massage. Bliss. Pure, unadulterated bliss. The sauna was also a welcome treat. I didn’t try the steamroom, but the whole experience was a good way to unwind and de-stress. The fitness center is small but functional, and the presence of a gym/fitness facility is a plus.
(Cleanliness and Safety - Are We Safe in These Times?)
They are VERY serious about cleanliness. Lots of signs about Daily disinfection in common areas. The staff clearly takes the Hygiene certification seriously. They use Anti-viral cleaning products. They have Hand sanitizer everywhere. I saw staff wearing masks and following Staff trained in safety protocol. I felt relatively safe, which is a huge plus these days. The Room sanitization opt-out available is a nice touch.
(Dining, Drinking, and Snacking - Fueling the Adventures!)
Breakfast [buffet] was… okay. Standard fare. The Asian breakfast options were actually quite good. I wouldn't rave about it, but it filled the hole in my stomach, that's for sure. The bottle of water in the room was a nice tough. I’m a big fan of a good coffee/tea in restaurant, which was satisfactory. The Room service [24-hour] is a lifesaver for those late night cravings. They also offer a Breakfast takeaway service if you’re rushing.
(Services and Conveniences - The Little Things Matter)
They have a Concierge, the Doorman was friendly. They provide Daily housekeeping. Cash withdrawal is available. The Laundry service was efficient. The Luggage storage came in handy. They also have Safety deposit boxes, a Convenience store and a Souvenir shop. They offer Free car park [on-site] and they’ve got Car power charging station, these additional details are a bonus.
(For the Kids - Family Friendly?)
They have Family/child friendly facilities, but I didn't see much action. Maybe the kids were all napping. They offer Babysitting service if needed.
(Getting Around)
Taxi service is available. They offer Airport transfer, even though there's no airport in Cabuyao.
(Rooms - The Nitty-Gritty)
The Air conditioning worked like a dream. The Bed was comfy. The Blackout curtains are essential for good sleep. The Complimentary tea and coffee was a nice touch, along with the Free bottled water. The Wi-Fi [free] was… well, you know the story. The Private bathroom was clean. The Shower had good water pressure. The View from my room was, well, of the back-end of another building. They do provide Bathrobes and Slippers, which is a luxury.
(The "Hidden Gem" Verdict - My Honest Opinion)
So, is Asia Novo a "Hidden Gem"? Look, it's not perfect. The service can be a bit slow on the days, and the Wi-Fi can be temperamental. But overall, it's a solid hotel. Clean, comfortable, and with some genuinely lovely features (hello, spa!). If you're looking for a relaxing getaway in Cabuyao, it’s definitely worth considering. It's a good base for exploring the area.
(Emotional Reaction)
I really liked it! I was pleasantly surprised. The stress of the city melted away (mostly). I felt relaxed and pampered. There were a few hiccups, sure, but nothing major. I'd go back.
(Target Audience)
This hotel is ideal for:
- Couples seeking a romantic escape or a relaxing weekend.
- Business travelers needing a comfortable base with good amenities.

- Anyone looking for a relaxing break from city life and is looking to explore the surrounding area.

Okay, buckle up, buttercups, because this isn't your grandma's itinerary. This is the chaotic, beautiful, slightly-hungover truth of a trip to Asia Novo Boutique Hotel in Cabuyao, Laguna. Get ready for the ride.
The Great Cabuyao Adventure: A Slightly Unhinged Itinerary (Because Let's Be Real, Who Sticks to a Plan?)
Day 1: Arrival of the Disoriented
- 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM: The Philippine Airport Shuffle (and Why I'm Already Sweating): Okay, let's be honest, landing in Manila is always an experience. It's like stepping into a sauna that also smells faintly of adobo. Finding the airport taxi was a battle of wills, a sweaty negotiation, and almost a full-blown existential crisis. The driver, bless his heart, seemed to think "Cabuyao" was a mythical creature. I may have uttered a few too many frustrated sighs.
- 2:00 PM - 3:00 PM: The Road Trip of Regret (Traffic, Anyone?): Seriously, the traffic. I swear, there's more metal on the road than oxygen. This hour was spent listening to a DJ on the radio, some Tagalog ballads, and a whole lot of honking. I may or may not have considered writing a strongly worded letter to Manila's city planners.
- 3:00 PM - 3:30 PM: Arrival at Asia Novo Boutique Hotel - YES, FINALLY! (And a Sigh of Relief the Size of the Pacific): Ahhh, the air conditioning. Bless the sweet, sweet air conditioning. Asia Novo looked… well, it looked like the pictures, which is always a relief. Check-in was easy, and the staff were genuinely friendly, which instantly thawed my Manila-induced grumpiness. I’m already craving for a cold drink here.
- 3:30 PM - 5:00 PM: Room Reconnaissance and the Quest for Wi-Fi: Okay, the room. It was clean! And the bed looked inviting, and I immediately face-planted onto it. The Wi-Fi, however, was playing hard to get. A small, but significant, problem considering my social media addiction. Managed to get it working, eventually. Victory! (Felt like I'd conquered Everest.)
- 5:00 PM - 7:00 PM: Poolside Panic (and a Deep Dive into Relaxation… Eventually): The pool beckoned. And boy, was it hotter than I expected. Dipped a toe in and was reminded that I forgot my sunscreen, a major rookie mistake. Spent some time people-watching – couples canoodling, a group of laughing kids, a guy who REALLY loved taking selfies. After a few minutes of awkward self-consciousness, I just embraced things and tried my best to relax. This wasn't so bad. This was absolutely wonderful.
- 7:00 PM - 8:00 PM: Dinner Dilemma (and the Joy of Easy Decisions): The hotel restaurant menu was… concise. Which was a blessing (no decision fatigue!). I went for the adobo (standard, I know, but I'm weak). I might have eaten the whole plate in less than five minutes. No regrets.
- 8:00 PM onwards: Collapse (and a Dream of Air Conditioning): Seriously, I think I passed out. The day had taken its toll.
Day 2: Cabuyao Exploration…Maybe?
- 8:00 AM - 9:00 AM: Breakfast Buffet Bonanza (and the Question of Croissants): The buffet! A glorious feat of carbs, eggs, and questionable pastries. The croissant was sad (I may be a croissant snob), but everything else was pretty amazing.
- 9:00 AM - 10:00 AM: The Great Cabuyao Plan (Or, the Lack Thereof): I had a map, I had a vague notion of "exploring," but honestly? The thought of leaving the hotel was exhausting. I might just stay here and be a professional pool lounger.
- 10:00 AM - 12:00 PM: Poolside Power Hour (Take Two): Okay, scratch the "exploring" idea. Back to the pool. This time with proper sunscreen! I read a trashy novel, eavesdropped on conversations, and generally embraced my lack of productivity. This is what vacations are for, right?
- 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM: Lunch and the Glorious Nap: Another adobo. I'm on a roll! Followed by the most glorious nap of my life. The bed at Asia Novo is a masterpiece of comfort.
- 1:00 PM - 3:00 PM: The Cabuyao Challenge: The Local Market (Attempted): Okay, I finally dragged myself out. The local market called. Wow. Okay, this was a sensory overload. Smells, sounds, and a whole lot of people. I stumbled around for a while, slightly bewildered, but eventually bought some fruit. Successfully navigated the chaos! (Felt like I'd won the lottery).
- 3:00 PM - 5:00 PM: Back to the Hotel for Sweet, Sweet Comfort: I had a strong emotional urge to return to the hotel, to be in the world I know, So as usual, I just returned.
- 5:00 PM - 7:00 PM: More Pool, More Relaxation: I feel like I'm just rinsing and repeating at this point, but you know what? I'm not mad about it.
- 7:00 PM - onwards: Dinner and Deep Thoughts (Maybe with a Beer): Dinner was a repeat of yesterday. Not sure what I'm doing later tonight.
Day 3: Departure of the Slightly Less Disoriented
- 8:00 AM - 9:00 AM: Breakfast (and the Bitter Sweetness of Departure): Another buffet! This time, I had a second croissant. Still sad.
- 9:00 AM - 10:00 AM: Final Poolside Reflections (and a Tiny Bit of Sadness): I actually feel a little sad to be leaving. It wasn't perfect, but it was exactly what I needed.
- 10:00 AM - 11:00 AM: Packing (and Remembering the Sunscreen): I think I'm getting better.
- 11:00 AM - 12:00 PM: Goodbye, Cabuyao! (Until Next Time, Maybe?): The check-out was smooth. Back to Manila, back to reality… but with a slightly deeper tan and a whole lot less stress.
- 12:00 PM onwards: The Airport Gauntlet (Wish Me Luck).
Quirky Observations & Emotional Reactions:
- The humidity is a living, breathing entity. It hugs you. It never lets go.
- I developed a profound appreciation for air conditioning.
- Adobo is a gift from the gods.
- I am, at my core, a pool lounger.
- This whole experience was kinda perfect, even with the imperfections.
- I definitely need another vacation soon. Maybe to Asia Novo again?
This itinerary is a testament to the fact that the best travel memories are often the messy, unpredictable, and wonderfully human ones. Enjoy the chaos!

Asia Novo Boutique Hotel - Cabuyao: Is It REALLY a Hidden Gem? (And Did I Cry?)
Okay, spill it. Is Asia Novo in Cabuyao actually *luxury*? Because "luxury" has become like, the overused word of our time.
Alright, alright. Deep breaths. Luxury… it depends on your definition, doesn't it? I went in thinking it'd be the usual, you know? Cleanish room, maybe a vaguely stained shower. But… (cue dramatic pause) … it actually *kind of* was. The room? Surprisingly spacious. The bed? SO comfortable, I nearly wept from joy after a week of sleeping on a lumpy sofa bed at my cousin's place. But the "luxury" part? It's a *particular* kind of luxury. It wasn't the over-the-top, gold-plated everything kind. It was the, "Wow, someone actually thought about this" kind. Better than expected, for the price point, definitely. I'm still a bit flummoxed.
What about the location? "Cabuyao" doesn't exactly scream "glamorous getaway."
Okay, Cabuyao. Let's be honest, it's not exactly the Maldives. But that's... kinda the charm, actually. You're NOT surrounded by screaming tourists and overpriced cocktails. It's *relatively* quiet. It's accessible. There's… things to *do* nearby, though I admittedly didn’t stray far from the hotel initially. (More on that later, and yes, it’s embarrassing.) It’s good for a chill staycation. Think of it as “luxury-adjacent.” You know, the nicer cousin of the place you *actually* want to go to, but still… decent, you know?
The room...tell me *everything* about the room. Was it clean? Are the towels fluffy? (This is important.)
The *room*. Oh, the room. Okay, the towels. YES. Fluffy-ish. Not the cloud-nine, melt-in-your-hands kind, but definitely a solid, "I'm not afraid to dry my face with this" kind of fluffiness. The room itself? Surprisingly clean! I'm a bit of a germaphobe, so I'm always side-eyeing everything. I always check behind the bed, you know? (Don't judge me!) There was a *teeny* stain on the carpet, but honestly, it was probably from some kid’s spill and… fine. Not a deal-breaker. The A/C worked *brilliantly* which, in the Philippine heat, is a MAJOR win. Also, the view from the window was… well…. looking at a parking lot and the adjacent hotel but it didn’t bother me, because I loved the bed. The bed. More on the bed later, because I may have… hugged it. A lot.
What's the deal with the service? Were the staff friendly? (Because, sometimes…)
The staff? Okay, here's where I get a little… emotional. Generally, they were super nice. *Too* nice, maybe? (Kidding!) From the front desk folks to the housekeeping who must have *seen* me in various states of sleep-disarray, they were all genuinely helpful. I’m not sure what the training program is, but they are patient. You know, that kind of service you get when the staff seem to actually *care*. One time, I accidentally locked myself out of my room (yes, really), and the guy at the front desk didn't even roll his eyes. He just... *smiled* and helped me, and I almost lost it. (See? Emotional!) It felt… genuine, which is becoming a rare commodity, these days.
Food, glorious food! Did they have a restaurant? How was it? This is a critical question.
Alright, listen. I’m a foodie. I live to eat. They did have a restaurant. It was… fine. Okay, that's a bit harsh. Breakfast was included, and the tapsilog was… *alright*. Nothing to write home about, but it provided sustenance. There were other options, too, but, honestly, I wasn't feeling adventurous. I'd heard the hotel was near a Jollibee so I ate there a few times, which I know is not the sophisticated answer I should give but, you know… nostalgia. (Don’t judge!) Look, the on-site restaurant isn't the *star* of the show. But you're there for other reasons, right?
So, the hidden gem thing… is it justified? Would you recommend it?
Hmmm. "Hidden gem?" Okay, maybe "hidden gem" is pushing it. But, honestly? For what it is, and for the price point, YES, I would recommend it. Especially if you're looking for a budget-friendly, relaxing getaway without the hassle of, you know, *masses of tourists*. If you're looking for a perfectly serviceable, comfortable, and relatively quiet place to de-stress, then yes. YES! Absolutely. I'll probably go back. (And I might bring my own pillow this time, but no promises.) Just don't expect a Michelin-starred experience or a room with a private infinity pool. But hey, if you just want to sleep in a super comfy bed and avoid the real world for a while, then Asia Novo Cabuyao might just be… surprisingly perfect. And yes, I may have teared up when I left the bed. Don’t tell anyone.
Anything else? Quirks? Annoyances? The ugly truth you've been hiding?
Okay, the ugly truth… hmm. The Wi-Fi, at times, was a bit… slow. But let’s be real, that's everywhere, right? There was a *noisy* air conditioner. At night, I'd get disturbed, but again… the bed made up for it. Look, there was nothing *terribly* wrong - just little things. Honestly, the biggest annoyance? Leaving. I really, really didn't want to. I’m currently planning my return. Send reinforcements!
