The Funny Lion - Coron

Super clean, really friendly. We were here for our honeymoon and they surprised us with dessert and some cute towel animals with a heart around it. Staff was super nice and attentive and towels were offered for each excursion.||There’s no grab that goes to the hotel so you’ll need to arrange travel through the hotel. They send you a message before your trip to ask. Welcome drinks were great. ||Wish it was slightly better organized for the tours as the tours are run through outside tour groups, but otherwise great stay. ||They also gifted us some cute friendship bracelets upon departure

Excellent location. Staff is extremely friendly and helpful. Everyone always has a smile on their faces. Special thank you Philip, Jane and Jam for the extra attention. The staff gave me balloons and treats for my birthday, much appreciated! Your hotel is beautiful and the food is delicious.

We had our stay last week and staff in the hotel are very friendly, breakfast was delicious with reasonable choices, don’t forget to have their signature banana cake and fresh juice to wake you up. However, normal coffee they offered was so so unless you pay for other coffee. They also offered us two different juices daily and snacks which is lovely. However, the juice if it’s mixed one, the sugar they put was over but natural juice like watermelon and coconut drink without sugar added, it was excellent for after day out. The room setting is bit strange, the rack to put clothing that is located on top of small pantry beside of washbasin, why they don’t set up beside of tv table with that empty space? Small table in between two beds that is too small which can’t benefit neither party except you move to close one of the bed. The hotel itself with very nice decor, rooftop’s bar pool and two other pools are very lovely but honestly, I was glad I didn’t take my mom for the trip. The hotel is on the slope that with so stairs and step to pool, restaurants, rooftop… if you would have mobility issues, it’s not a hotel for you. Overall, it’s a nice hotel with excellent staff!

We had an amazing stay at The Funny Lion -Coron The staff were warm and welcoming special thank you to JEM and Philip of concierge who tours us the facilities, the rooms were immaculate, and the amenities were top-notch. The breakfast spread was incredible too! Highly recommend."This hotel exceeded our expectations! They made a suprise set up for our wedding anniversaryPerfect staycation spot! the funny Lion Coron offered excellent service, a relaxing ambiance, and mouth-watering food. We'll definitely be back!"

My husband and I stayed at the Funny Lion during our honeymoon and had an incredible stay! The staff were so friendly and attentive. The daily drink restocks and afternoon treat were a lovely touch and both pools were perfect for relaxing at. Highly recommend checking out the rooftop patio for a sunset view and happy hour cocktails. Great hotel for couples looking for a nice getaway right outside the main town.

Now I can’t hype this resort up enough! Upon arriving in coron we had actually booked at another location that had overbooked so we had to scramble to get another place to stay….well thank goodness that other place didn’t work out because we truly had one of the best stays here during our time in the Philippines. ||The rooms, pool and staff were amazing. Philip and Gabb helped us with everything we needed and we can’t thank them enough! ||Also the food was amazing we really enjoyed our breakfasts and the main restaurant and roof top patio drinks and food were delicious. ||If you’re looking for a nice spot for relaxation that is also close to town I can’t recommend this place more. ||Thank you to everyone there for making our stay so wonderful

Phenomenal stay. The staff were extremely helpful and organized with everything. They had great recommendations and helped book us a tour and airport transfers. They greeted us with welcome beverages and the rooms also had complimentary fruits, drinks, and snacks that were consistently restocked. The rooms were large and very clean. There are two main pools and a rooftop bar with another 2 small pools to enjoy the sunset. Breakfast was also included and was delicious with different items each day. There’s also a Mexican restaurant at the hotel which made great food. The only downside is that the hotel is a 20 minute walk from town on a hilly road but they have trikes available to take you to town at all hours.

The staff have been wonderful, very attentive and very friendly. The food is excellent, the room looked after very well indeed. Reception staff have been very helpful on all occasions. The bar on the roof is lively and fun. The bar by the pool is a great place to enjoy some fine food and just to chill.

The best hotel in Coron for good reason. We stayed at the Funny Lion for 5 days and 4 nights. It is very rare to find a hotel that is all around perfect when it comes to service, food and amenities. This hotel practically has it all. The experience from start to finish was simply flawless! For starters, the hotel was in constant communication with us from booking to departure and they also helped with coordinating travel. Their complementary breakfasts are amazing and the menu rotates daily. They have the best breakfast spreads I've experienced. Happy Hour is offered from 5-7pm on their 4th floor rooftop deck providing killer sunset views which by the way has not one, but two jet tub pools if you prefer to watch the sunset in water versus on the patio chairs. The rooms are clean, modern and the grounds are beautiful. They have on-site security guards which made me feel safe during our stay. They really put a lot of thought in the details of running a hotel chain. Staff was friendly, positive and professional making every moment of our trip memorable. If you find yourself visiting Coron, the Funny Lion is the best hotel for the best value.

Review is long overdue. We had the best times staying here. The staff are friendly and very helpful. Thank you to "Sonar Sun International Travel and Tours, Inc Philippines" for booking us here. We will definitely staying here again when we come back to Coron Philippines.

This was so unexpected! The picture I saw online does not do have he place any justice! This is a beautiful boutique type hotel. The staff is so wonderful m, they are friendly and accommodating! The rooms We got were all so beautiful. Our room had a private patio and a king size bed. It includes a refrigerator and a safe. The refrigerator is replenished with bottled water and Coke. You will also get specialty Filipino drinks daily. Like buko pandan juice, buko juice, sago gulaman, watermelon slush. They also provide a turn down service with small desserts such as cookies, mousse. Another surprise was that each room came with flip flops to keep and a native bag. All you can eat breakfast is included along with afternoon snacks. Breakfast will consist of different items each day like bacon, longanisa, sardines, chicken, cereal, tablea (chocolate drink), French Press Coffee (local beans), garlic fried rice, bagoong fried rice, egg fried rice, made to order omelet station, banana muffins, kutsinta, puto, bibingka, espasol, local fruits, waffles, pan de sal, sliced bread, fresh squeezed juice (calamansi). Happy hour is from 4-7 at the rooftop with amazing view of the ocean! Great sunset view! This hotel is so clean that I literally will go barefoot inside the room, this is something I never do in hotels!

This is probably the nicest boutique hotel in Coron currently. This was our last stop on our honeymoon and we couldn't wait. We booked for two nights stay at the Funny Lion. Sadly we only got to enjoy it for one night due to our first flight delay resulting in missing our connecting flight into Coron. Although I didn't find the room to be anything amazing, it had a strong AC system, good water pressure, decent bed and spacious - I'm content and comfortable. What I did feel was wonderful, was the service and attentiveness the staffs were. Upon arrival, our room was not ready for us, so they walked us to the boutique-sized restaurant to relax and maybe grab some lunch while they get our room ready. Pretty clever on their part to get the guest to spend some $ because the wait for the room was quite a while. If you'd like to book your tours, just give the front desk a call and they will do the rest. The rooftop bar was the best part of our stay. With 2 jacuzzies on each side, you can enjoy happy hour and some bites while catching the view or even the sunset. I want to especially thank the staffs at the front desk for acknowledging our honeymoon and decorating our room with flowers and a yummy bottle of wine, which we took up to the rooftop to enjoy. After we left our stay with the Funny Lion to our next hotel, we still went back on our last night for the bar. If we ever come back to Coron, you bet we'll be staying here.

Just outside of the main road in Coron is an amazing tranquil resort called the Funny Lion. From the service, food, rooms and don't forget the view, this place is top notch! If you want to treat yo'self, this is a way to do it without breaking the bank (you can go cheaper, but you won't experience this level of professional and incredible boutique hotel and restaurant). I'll be back and I hear several more are being built in the Philippines...and I'll be booking my next trip at them all!

Our best stay so far in the PI! This boutique lodge is a short drive from Coron Town, far enough to have more peace and quiet (I'd still rate it 1 rooster, 3 stray dogs, 2 stray cats, and 2 motorbikes). The staff was very polite and helpful. The room was modern, clean, and well-appointed. There's a free mini-fridge bar with fresh fruits and fresh drinks restocked daily( watermelon, Buko pandan, sweet jelly juice, etc. and Coke) The restaurant is excellent and even made my daughter a cheese sandwich and me arroz caldo (off-menu). I was impressed with the mixture of local and Western cuisine. There were many vegetables to be had (a rarity in the PI). The rooftop bar is breath-taking-with stellar panoramic views which can be enjoyed from two bubble pools. Check out the happy hour drink specials! All in all, an enjoyable stay. They're doing an amazing job highlighting , but also staving off an environment that can rapidly decay buildings. I see they got a mention in Travel and Leisure magazine too!

On a recent visit to Palawan, Travel & Leisure's "world's best island 2016", we stayed at the new Funny Lion Inn in Coron. Touting itself as a boutique hotel ( by Filipino standards), the property is pretty chill, with some nice features, and some quirky faults too. The hotel is about 100 meters from the bay, but the only water views are from the upper floors. The pool area, as well as the roof deck features "bubble tubs", but they're not heated, which would have been nice on a cloudy day. The design is contemporary, and the rooms are comfortable, but a bit minimalist. The breakfast buffet is very good and the a la carte menu is also diverse and creative. The staff aims to please....service is not up to Western luxury standards but it's definitely one of the better options in Coron.

Nice Boutique style resort hotel. We stayed in the Pride room. It is supposed to be their biggest room. For me it is just regular sized room, I am comparing to western standards. The bed is nice and comfy. The rest room and shower room is good sized and modern. Over all, it is a good hotel. Friendly and efficient staff. I will stay here again.

This hotel was the perfect spot for our first trip to the Philippines. They have an amazing roof top bar w/ 2 soaking tubs that are perfect for catching sunsets. (The onion rings are AWESOME) Ian & Kenneth (2 of the hotel staff) made our trip so enjoyable with their outstanding service. I noticed them not only offering to take pictures of groups and couples which I thought was so nice. They gave us great recommendations for food and drinks and even island stops that were different than the typical ones you see on all the tours. We really appreciated how well they took care of us!

The entrance and buildings are fairly unimpressive at first, but the rooms are very nice. There is a great view from the bar on top of the hotel, with two Jacuzzis and a happy hour. Service is top notch and they have a complimentary bar in room with free coke, juice, and sliced fruits. Breakfast is better than standard hotel breakfast, with a good variation. Very close to Coron town, where the boat rentals are.

Funny Lion experience, truly a comfort away from home. From the pick up at the airport to the checkout, this place is world class. It's clean and it's quiet, a place to be if you want to get away from the hustle & bustle of life. Everyone we've encountered for any assistance are hospitable, compassionate, and went beyond expectations. Outstanding services from Noreen, Ian, Brian, Marianne and Maila, always with smile and gentle care, (to management) I truly commend all these personnels. Talk about food, the restaurant will give your tastebuds the travel experience too! To the chef, your artistic options in the menu is very much appreciated! Overall, I'd come back and will recommend this place to all my friends and family.

By far the best hotel i've ever stayed in. The service was incredible. The food is even better if that's even possible. They had a live band at happy hr on the roof top where you can see the sunset. They leave little surprises in your room when you're gone. Everyone was super accommodating. And the resort is close to everything.
