The Funny Lion - Coron

I had such a great stay at this hotel! The room was super clean, comfortable, and exactly what I needed for a relaxing trip. The staff was amazing — friendly, helpful, and always smiling. Everything felt well taken care of, and the vibe was warm and welcoming. I really appreciated how easy and comfortable everything was. It honestly made my trip so much better. I’d definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a nice, clean hotel with great service. I’ll for sure come back next time I’m in the area.

Absolutely incredible hotel! One of the best full service hotels I’ve ever stayed at. Beds were comfortable and ac was great. Full turn down service with treats every night. The food was some of the best food I’ve ever had as well as the drinks. They made fresh treats and popsicles every afternoon. The staff was so kind and helpful with all of our needs. We also got massages that were amazing. The rooftop bar had two pools that overlooked the water to watch the sunset! Location was close enough to walk into town and explore if you wanted or easy enough to coordinate transportation wherever you needed to go. I cannot recommend this place enough! If you go to Coron you HAVE to stay here!!!

We had an amazing experience at the Funny Lion in Coron. Everything was exceptional, from the room (we stayed in the Savannah room) to the pools, the restaurants and the rooftop bar. We were able to book all our island hoping tours through the reception, with everything organised for us. The location is about 7 minutes outside of the main town but there are plenty of taxis available to get you to and from. |The staff are all very friendly and accomodating, went above and beyond to ensure we had a comfortable stay. Would 100% recommend this hotel

Our stay at The Funny Lion was truly unforgettable. From the moment we arrived, the entire team made us feel genuinely welcome — every single staff member was kind, attentive, and full of warmth. You can really feel that they love what they do and it gives the hotel such a unique identity and atmosphere. A special mention goes to the amazing guy preparing delicious omelettes at breakfast, as well as the entire restaurant staff, the lovely housekeeping team, and the always-smiling receptionists — everyone was so thoughtful, prepared, and ready to help with anything before we even asked. The service, the comfort, and the people made our time in Coron exceptional. The restaurant also deserves special praise — the dishes were beautifully prepared and full of flavor, truly among the best meals we had in the Philippines. I’ll certainly recommend The Funny Lion to all my friends and we'll be staying there again — it’s not just a hotel, it’s an experience that stays with you.

We stayed at The Funny Lion Coron for two nights and had a wonderful experience. Highly recommended for light sleepers — the soundproofing is great, and there’s no strange noise at all. The room’s AC was super cold (almost too cold 😂), hot water worked perfectly with strong water pressure, and the bed was very comfortable. All the hardware facilities were excellent 👍🏻. The staff were warm and friendly. During check-in, we were served a tasty welcome drink, and the room even came with thoughtful little souvenirs like safety pins 🧷 and drawstring bags — very considerate! Every afternoon, after we came back from tours, the staff would leave daily snacks in the room. Honestly, I thought they might not suit our taste, but they turned out to be really delicious. The hotel also has two pools and a spa. My spa experience? I basically slept through the whole thing — which should mean it was really relaxing! Overall, we truly recommend this place, and next time we visit El Nido, we’ll definitely consider staying at their branch there. Oh, and we really loved their shower gel and shampoo — it’d be amazing if we could buy them online 😂.

Amazing place. The room was fantastic, really good pool. Complete buffet breakfast and the best thing in the hotel is the staff. They were so nice with us, help with every single detail (e.g. Booking for island hopping, motorbike, restaurants, etc). I would repeat without any doubts! Congrats for such a great place

The funny lion in Coron was very good|The staff was super friendly, gave us recommendations of places to visit beside the tours we had already booked. |Helped us with renting a motorcycle and they can support you in whatever you need. | The hotel has 2 pools and then 2 jacuzzis in the rooftop where you can see the sunset and enjoy some happy hours drinks. |It was amazing

We stayed for four nights and it was truly one of the best experiences we’ve had in the Philippines. The hospitality made us feel completely at home — the staff were exceptionally polite and attentive to every detail throughout our stay. The food was outstanding, with a wide range of options available at all hours, including themed dinner nights that added to the vibrant atmosphere. Music filled the hotel with a warm and welcoming vibe, and the views from the rooftop — complete with a cozy jacuzzi — were simply lovely. The air conditioning in the rooms was set at the perfect temperature, and it was convenient to be able to leave devices charging even when we weren’t in the room. Both pools were fantastic, and even included areas designed for relaxing with a book right in the water.

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.
