Big 8 Corporate Hotel

we stayed only for 1 night. service was good, they upgraded us to 7 floor.. staff was friendly but the room has big crack, water was color gray well they inform me during check in let ut run for few minutes until becuase clear.. i dont know whats going on with there water system..also no water heater so they provided a basin and pail so can reheat the water thru water kettle if want to have hot shower...lol.....price is more expensive than good hotel in davao ...

It is verty clean , staff were really friendly and accommodate your needs very well, amenities and facilities are very well maintained . Breakfast is good . We had fun in the pool.

Great place, food and accessibility. See u next year Big 8 corporate hotel.

Everything was good but just a little noisy at morning because its in front of the main highway

Overall the trip was good including staying..

I am a USA traveler. There is not much to choose from in the Tagum area. in the way of hotels. Big 8 SOUNDED like it was a USA Hotel ? But I have my doubts. The Hotel @ one time had to be magnificent. Sure it is old and decaying. But I can live with that. What I can't stand is having to pay big money for an old hotel, and not able to take a hot shower. On top of a ice cold shower, the shower doors wouldn't stay shut and slid open and flooded the whole bathroom. Maintenance could not fix this. So we had to stuff towels in the opening. But it still made a messy flooded bathroom. I came here to read the reviews concerning the hot water. "temporary out of service. We are in May, I was there in January. 5 months and you can't fix the hot water heater ? We know now that is a B.S. story. Stop telling your customers that. You have no hot water, you won't fix the hot water, but you want to charge the same price as if you DID have hot water. Everyone who worked there was as pleasant as possible. The buffet and food was not the worst in the world. It's typical Asian fish and rice centric. I went for the eggs, potatoes and waffles and breads. Rice clogs me up, and it's a bit too much sugar intake. The food was edible for a USA steak and potatoes person like myself. The service ? I loved everyone ,security, everyone. The pool was great ,the gym has some rotted wood floors. It's obvious this hotel is struggling financially. From no hot water and no wifi to a pool that is a bit past it's prime to a gym on the second floor that has rotted floors, something is going on here financially ? Sell the hotel Big 8. You are not using it properly. Allow someone to spend a few thousand USD and repair things. Wifi works locally,so that is a lie. Hot water can only be a hot water heater. China has to be able to supply a few hot water heaters easily. Replace the rotted wood in the gym before someone falls thru,you have weights up there and people handling alot of weights working out with machines that are heavy too. So the roof or windows are leaking too. There are Filipino's dying to go to work for some labor work. Get in and fix the place or sell it.

We went to Tagum to attend the wake of our aunt. We chose Big 8 Corporate Hotel because we saw a lot of excellent reviews about the hotel. We also read that its a 3-star hotel in Tagum. Naturally, we expected an experience that is worthy of a 3-star hotel. Unfortunately, it was a big let down. The first room they gave us has a window with a broken lock. Then they transferred us to a different room with a broken airconditioner. The airconditioner errored multiple times in the middle of the night. Imagine the sleepless night to check if the kids are sweating in their sleep. And apparently you can't charge anything in your room. Everything is cash basis. Their restaurant is cash basis. Their pool is cash basis. We also got locked out of our room. The keycard just stopped working. When I got to the receptionist, there was no empathy. It felt like it was a regular thing in a 3-star hotel. I would not recommend this hotel. Our experience was horrible.
