The hotel is located in a quiet area of Coron, but still just a short ride from the center. Good size rooms, clean and fresh, comfortable beds, good water pressure, hot and cold shower. The hotel staff was phenomenal, very courteous and professional. The pool area is relaxing and perfect both for adults and kids. The food exceeded all our expectations, the best place to eat in Coron. Breakfast was included in our stay and it was one of the best hotel breakfasts we ever had in the Philippines. Considering the standard and service this is excellent value for your money, definitely one of the best hotels in Coron.

My family and I really enjoyed staying at this hotel for 5 days. Food was superb, not your ordinary filipino breakfast. If I will rate the hospitality of the staff, kulang yung 5 stars to rate them. Super ganda ng room and malinis. Safe yung place and they will help and guide you during your stay in Coron. Keep it up, we will definitely come back!!

Of course there weren't many guests... at one stage during our 5 nights stay we were alone. Nevertheless the attention and kindness of the staff was way above what we have experienced in a Filipino owned and managed resorts over the last 25 years. This is what we will remember from Funny Lion although this medium sized kind of boutique resort (being presently extended with a few very nice rooms in containers) deserves excellent ratings. Clean and neat. Large comfortable rooms (with excellent beddings, a rarity) and bathrooms (an obsession of mine) with all amenities. Very nice pool. Well located. Interesting choice of fulfilling and non traditional breakfasts. Excellent cuisine. Small reservation: the wine list could be a bit larger... This was a perfect 6 days stay and the resort can only be strongly recommended.…

My family and I stayed at The Funny Lion for 3 days and 2 nights before switching to another hotel. After our experience at The Funny Lion, we wished we had just stayed there for the entire duration of our Coron trip - we didn't want to leave! The hotel staff were very thoughtful and provided my family and I with such a personalized experience; attentive and immediately tending to our every need. They had bottles of water and wet towels prepared for us upon pick up at the airport, and welcome drinks upon reaching the hotel. We had mentioned wanting to book an island tour for our 2nd day and they immediately took care of it for us, allowing us to enjoy the rest of the day by their pool and the beautiful sunset from their jacuzzi on their rooftop. The next day we were surprised to find packed bags of towels and bottled water waiting for us at the reception for us to bring on our island tour. The attention to detail and the staff's genuine desire to serve guests the best possible experience was very much appreciated by my family and I. The staff were quick with suggestions when we were unsure of where to eat our meals, giving us directions and calling over tricycles to take us whenever needed. Every day and night of our stay, we always came back to the hotel to friendly faces and warm greetings. We truly appreciated every moment spent in The Funny Lion and I never hesitate to recommend the place whenever I have friends traveling to Coron. The hotel may not be the biggest or grandest, but the hospitality the staff readily provides makes up for it 10x more. Plus, the scenery and sunsets seen from their rooftop bar are not to be missed! Truly can't wait til my next visit. Keep up the amazing work!…

We stayed at The Funny Lion in early March of this year when we had to make an unexpected detour during our honeymoon trip . At first, I have to admit, we didn't consider the resort because of the name. We decided to give it a chance however when our friends recommended it. After all the reviews were good, the photos online looked nice and the location seemed to be fine. We were not disappointed! The friendly airport representatives waited for our arrival at Busuanga Airport. This has to be pre-arranged but is worth it for just a few pesos more than having to sort out your own transportation. Cold towels and chilled bottles of water were offered before heading to the resort in their van. We always appreciate this simple gesture when traveling! The resort is a pleasant, peaceful, safari-themed property with a lovely pool area that can be easily enjoyed the whole day. Just be a bit cautious when coming in and out of the pool as it can be quite slippery. The room we had was nice and spacious and we were greeted by lovely honeymoon amenities. Once in a while, we would find freshly made beverages in our fridge during the day and a delightful sweet treat from the Chef at night. I have to mention how wonderful it was to come back to our room after it was cleaned each day, it smelled so clean and relaxing. At Hunt, the resort's restaurant, aside from some items being either a bit too salty or too sweet, the menu choices are creative and mostly delicious. From the front office to the restaurant side, service was consistently good. Everyone was always engaging and friendly. A special commendation to JB, the duty manager and Thel from Hunt restaurant.…
