My dad and I spent our Christmas lunch here, and honestly it's one of the best value and tasting buffets that we have been to in 2025. Will consider booking here again for special occasions.

We booked for 5 people on Christmas Day, understanding that the details would be as follows: 5 pax for 1pm booking at 30% discount. The amount per person would have been Php 1391.60 or 6995.00. When we came to the restaurant, one of the ladies on duty took a photo of our booking reservation on the phone. After lunch, we asked for the bill which took almost an hour to arrive, and anitjer lady, most likely the cashier showed the total billing as php11800, double the budget we had for lunch. . Her reason was that it was a holiday and the price person was app. Php 3800. She further said that Eatigo should have informed us because it's always thr case (??#!). Here's the thing. If there had been incidents before, then the moment we checked in at the resto, we should have been informed by Novotel. On the other hand, Eatigo should have computed it accordingly before confirming the booking. This was clearly a rip off. Now, will we be recommending or using Novotel or Eatigo again? Most definitely, no.

Loved the roast beef, and especially the Indian shrimp dish (forgot the name, but it was definitely memorable). That said, the lechon had already lost its crispiness even when the buffet first opened. The rice dish that looks similar to paella (with a different name) was also quite good. And the pecan pie? Easily the highlight of the spread. ❤️

I am currently checked in at Novotel for my mom’s birthday and decided to book the dinner buffet. Unfortunately, our hotel stay was underwhelming due to the unprofessional service at the front desk and the wrong rooms being given, which really spoiled our day. However, this dinner buffet made up for it. The food selection was impressive—especially the seafood! The service was attentive, and the price was very reasonable considering the wide variety offered. Most importantly, all our requests were followed without issue. Thanks to this dinner buffet, what started as a bad day at least ended on a much better note.
