Hotel's Favorite
The most guest oriented resort I have ever been. Since the welcome we found a super nice staff and plenty of smiling. The resort is very clean, 20 min walking to the main street or 5min by tricycle (30 php p/p). From the resort y can book any island hopping tour or if y wish a motorbike with same price y can find downtown. If y don't want to go for a tour y can enjoy the two nice pools and the kindness of the staff that offers y complimentary snacks, ice cream and one day we also had a free 15 min massage. Every day from 3 to 5pm in the restaurant area in front of the pool y can enjoy a different complimentary banana snack and drinks and from 5 to 7 y can have a cocktail happy hour on the roof top bar watching the sunset in a jacuzzi pool. Breakfast is also ok; the only thing that I suggest is to empower the wifi connection which is not everywhere good as needed.overall we were super satisfied and we strongly recommend this resort.

My partner and I stayed in The Funny Lion Coron from 23 November to 28 November for his birthday getaway. The experience was excellent: the level of service provided by the staff is one of the best I have ever experienced. They delivered attentive, warm and personalized service without it feeling intrusive or forced. The hotel itself was beautiful. We booked the Pride Tana Room which overlooked the smaller pool in front and the beautifully preserved mangrove area at the back via our private balcony. In the late afternoons/evenings you hear sounds of crickets and lizards, go out at night/before sunrise and you see a sky full of stars. I even saw some fireflies and my first shooting star. In the mornings, you are greeted by sounds of birds chirping. We also had lunch several times at the hotel restaurant, took advantage of the happy hour drinks offering at the roof deck and was able to enjoy their grill night. Food was consistently delicious. We also booked our airport transfers and tours via the hotel (JY Travel was excellent!) so they will take care of it if you need assistance. They will provide you towels for your tours as you leave the hotel. The hotel is a ten minute tricycle ride to town and tricycles are available right in front of the hotel (P60-P70 per way). They also have bicycles available for use. We will definitely stay here again next time we visit Coron. Shout out to all the staff at reception, housekeeping, restaurant (Meah at the restaurant who took such good care of us whenever we ate there) staff, rooftop bar staff who served us excellent drinks, turndown staff who always left delicious evening sweets and Manager Jay who gifted us free drinks at the bar. We had such a lovely stay and they all lived up to the promises mentioned on their site.

If you’re looking for AMAZING service, hospitality that makes you feel like a celebrity, & a gorgeous resort overall, this is the place for you. The staff at The Funny Lion in Coron deserves 100/5 stars - they truly went above and beyond for me and my family while we were staying here. They are so friendly, nice, and hospitable. The resort is so gorgeous, and it’s small so it feels more home-like. When I come to the Philippines next, I’ll be sure to come back to Coron and stay at The Funny Lion!

The Funny Lion hotel was the best experience ever. From the room service to the massages, they we above and beyond to make sure everything was top tier. I want to especially highlight the food here. The breakfast and dinner were out of this world. Breakfast was buffet style serving traditional filipino foods. Dinner is both buffet and al a carte depending on the day. One night they had live singers and it really set the ambiance. I also want to give a special shout out to Ian and the chef who were able to create off menu food items for dinner, this really meant a lot to us. Thank you so much Funny Lion team, we will be coming back!!! :)

From the minute you step there you will feel at home. The staff is extremely kind and helpful. The rooms are great with confortable beds and all the amenities you should need. The pool was the perfect spot to rest after a morning of island hopping. The cherry on top is its rooftop, with great sunset views to get lost in. We definitely recommend it to everyone that comes to Coron.❤️
