The Funny Lion - Coron

Very cute comfortable modern express lodging option. The Funny Lion just like its name, is modern, compact, tech friendly, and fun with a big personality. We were welcomed by friendly staff and cute swags. Hotel comes with two nice swimming pools and multiple hot tubs. Rooftop bar has good view and two tubs. Our room though small, does not feel crammed. Complimentary refreshments are nice addition. I told my partner the owner must grew up had lots of hugs and bedtime stories.

Stayed here for 3 nights and overall had a really good experience. The room was comfortable and came with a refilled minibar every day plus a sweet treat each night, which was a nice touch. The hotel has two pools and two whirlpools on the rooftop with a beautiful sunset view — definitely one of the highlights. Location-wise, it’s about a 5-minute ride from town, and tricycles are easy to catch right outside.

Best experience! Best people, providing the best service. We were disrupted because of Typhoon Tino, the Funny Lion team (especially Jane in reservations) was outstanding on helping us out. We booked our hotel via Qantas, and they made our lives so difficult to change the booking. The hotel really helps us to navigate the issues with our travel booker, and The Funny Lion team were so flexible to ensure we were not impacted and gave us flexibility to help us throughout our stay there. Thanks for the smiles, great service and hospitality.

We had such a great stay at The Funny Lion Coron! We stayed for 3 nights and absolutely loved the place, cozy rooms, relaxing atmosphere. Breakfast was so good too and the daily juices they bring to the room were 💯💯💯 What really made the stay special was the staff ans everyone was so friendly and helpful. Jimuel and Anton in particular went out of their way to make sure we were comfortable during breakfast and always had a smile on their faces. You can really feel that the team enjoys what they do, and it makes all the difference. Would definitely stay here again next time we’re in Coron. Highly recommend!

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at The Funny Lion! The staff were incredibly warm and went above and beyond every single day to make us feel welcome. The free breakfast was delicious and changed most days, which was a nice touch. Each evening, the rooftop happy hour at sunset was such a highlight, and the Mexican restaurant by the pool is a must-try — the food was amazing! Huge margaritas!!! We also booked our island-hopping tour through the hotel, and it ended up being one of the best days of our trip — highly recommend doing the same. The hotel is just a few minutes’ tuk-tuk ride from town (about 60 pesos for two people), so it’s super convenient yet peaceful. Thank you to The Funny Lion team for such a glorious few days in Coron — we’ll definitely be back! Also loved the cookies delivered to our room each evening, such a nice touch.

Excellent service from start to finish, a warm welcoming and departure, luxurious property and superior room, excellent food. Quick resolution of a miscommunication, the true definition of customer service. Worth the $ for high quality comfort and service! We stayed in the tana suite with its own private jacuzzi tub, perfect after long Travels (not heated).

The level of service and care by the st we have ever experienced. The locatic close enough to town to take a quick t moderate walk and the staff will alway recommendations no matter what you family asked for help organizing a beo organized a van tour to Ocam Ocam k visit and lunch as well. We arrived just hit the area and the staff took very go the emergency. We always had power, food, and while we couldn't do all the hoped for during the week we still enjo relaxation at the resort.

They have direct contact to rent a motorcycle in the hotel, great service too 100% trust them.||We will come back for sure!

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.
