I had an amazing stay at Funny Lions! From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel incredibly welcome with complimentary welcome gifts, which was such a thoughtful touch. The mini bar was generously stocked and added to the overall luxury experience. The pool was absolutely stunning—clean, relaxing, and perfect for unwinding after a day of exploring. What really stood out was the attention to detail and the surprises throughout our stay. We were delighted to receive lovely gifts before departure, making our experience even more memorable. The service was exceptional, the facilities were excellent, and every member of the team went above and beyond to make us feel special. I highly recommend Funny Lions to anyone visiting Coron and looking for a comfortable, welcoming, and unforgettable stay. I can't wait to come back!

Honestly the best hospitality ever!

Great location, short walk to el nido town with lots of restaurants. The staff were the nicest people ever, they knew our names and would greet us every morning and evening. The hotel was really well maintained and had some small luxurious touches that really made the difference.

We would definitely go back but perhaps not stay at the back where the animal noise was.

The location is excellent and the staff give you an amazing informative check in.

Perfect few days ☺️

Had such a lovely stay at The Funny Lion. All of the staff were so friendly and beautiful, nearly always greeting us by our names. It was our honeymoon and our room had some Prosecco, cake and music playing when we checked into our room!

Staff made this hotel. So friendly and do anything for you. Always a small on their faces. Especially Kim on reception who was excellent. Hotel's private beach was lovely, a little bit of paradise. However, it is not private to hotel guests as you get a steady visit if tourist boats dropping off tourists for up to an hour at a time.

Well Positioned Hotel, Great Staff, Smallish, Quite Noisy Rooms

The hotel is just at the end of El Nido's busy main street very busy, so is very well positioned for all the restaurants, bars, etc. We had the usual smiley, friendly service as we arrived and checked in. This friendly service continued throughout our stay. The breakfast buffet had a good choice of options, but we didn't try the lunch or dinner. Overall it's a very nice hotel with extremely friendly and helpful staff. The rooms are just a bit small and noisy and so not dark at night.

Perhaps THE place to stay in El Nido.

Stylish, comfortable and excellent service. Top choice hotel for El Nido. Perhaps THE place to stay in El Nido. We LOVED the access to Papaya Beach. It is well worth a visit and sheltered from the hub hub of mass tourism on other beaches.

Outstanding stay in the heart of El Nido — amazing staff and great value

Our stay at Funny Lion El Nido was absolutely outstanding from start to finish. The hotel is located right in the center of town, yet it feels surprisingly calm and well thought out. Considering the limited space in El Nido, the design is extremely smart—everything feels open, comfortable, and never cramped. What truly sets this hotel apart is the staff. Everyone is genuinely friendly, always smiling, and incredibly helpful. We were especially impressed by how they remembered guests’ names, even though the hotel was fully booked during our entire stay. That level of personal attention makes a real difference. A big highlight was access to their beach spot, Papaya Beach, which they take you to free of charge. The beach is beautiful, relaxed, and has very reasonable prices for food and drinks—an amazing bonus that really elevates the experience. The spa was excellent. We had massages there and they were truly outstanding—one of the best we’ve had on this trip. The rooms were spacious, very clean, and extremely comfortable. Food was also very good, and the laundry service was fast, affordable, and convenient. All in all, this was an exceptional experience. For the price you pay, it’s hard to imagine finding a better option in El Nido. We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area
