Guest Reviews

• F4750BTamyp (10/5): Wonderful stay with great staff - Lovely experience, impressively attentive and kind staff.
• naomijuditha (10/5): Four Years of Exceptional Stays - I’ve been coming to The Funny Lion every year for the past four years as part of my work as a survival instructor, bringing clients to a nearby remote island. After each trip, we stay here—and every single time, it’s been exceptional. The staff are incredibly warm, attentive, and consistently go above and beyond to make sure everyone feels welcome and well taken care of. Their level of service truly stands out. The rooms are comfortable and beautifully maintained, and the facilities are excellent. The food is always fantastic as well—exactly what you want after a demanding trip. What makes it even more special is that they remember me each year, which adds such a personal touch to every stay. It’s the perfect way to end every course I run here in the Philippines, and without a doubt, it’s one of my favourite hotels in the world.
• L781RQpaulac (10/5): PAWsome experience! - The Funny Lion was the perfect place to come home to after multiple days out in the sun! The staff was so friendly and accommodating. The space was so peaceful and clean.
• Climber49068074235 (10/5): wonderful time - the staffs are very friendly from start to end. beautiful amenity with a great view and great pools.
• galiciajimenezperez (10/5): Amazing stay - My partner and I first time here and were so happy that we stayed at this hotel! Everyone was attentive, helpful, and friendly from our start of the stay to the end. They even fixed my bed with pink balloons and a cupcake for my birthday. We will definitely be back! Great experience!
• andreweX5963JG (10/5): The Funny Lion, Coron — A Hidden Safari Paradise That Exceeded Every Expectation - We stumbled upon The Funny Lion almost by accident — every hotel in Coron proper was booked when we were planning our stay before embarking on a Tao expedition from Coron to El Nido. What started as a backup plan turned into one of the most memorable lodging experiences of our lives. Spoiler: I will never stay anywhere else in Coron again. The Property From the moment you arrive, The Funny Lion feels less like a hotel and more like a private resort tucked into a lush, secluded world of its own. Two spectacular pools, a rooftop Jacuzzi with sweeping views, and an on-site spa — the grounds are genuinely stunning. For a boutique property with only 32 rooms, it punches so far above its weight class it’s almost unfair to the competition. The Food (Yes, Really) Let me be upfront: we fully intended to venture into Coron for dinner both nights. We never made it. Not because we couldn’t — but because the food here is that good. On our first night, jet-lagged and tired, we wandered into the Mexican restaurant expecting something decent. What we got were legitimately some of the best tacos we’ve ever had — anywhere. My wife was thrilled with the thoughtful vegetarian options, and I demolished every seafood and meat taco I could get my hands on. The rooftop bar adds a fun bonus after 5pm: brick oven pizza, local beers, and cocktails under the open sky. The morning buffet breakfast was equally impressive — a beautifully diverse spread covering all the Western favorites alongside Philippine and Chinese breakfast options I was genuinely excited to explore. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and lovingly prepared. The Staff — The Real Stars of the Show In a word: extraordinary. From the moment we introduced ourselves, every single team member addressed us by name — Mr. Andrew, Mrs. [name] — for the entirety of our stay. At a 32-room property, that level of personalized attention is remarkable. The team was warm, kind, and attentive in the best possible way — always present when you needed them, never hovering when you didn’t. They arranged transportation for our Tao orientation meeting without any fuss, handled laundry with a ~24-hour turnaround — clean, folded, and pressed — at a price that would make your jaw drop compared to a US laundromat. The front desk was consistently helpful whether we stopped by in person or called from the room. This is the kind of service that leaves an impression long after you’ve checked out. The Spa — The Surprise That Stole the Show We had no idea there were massage services on-site when we booked. Learning about them during our welcome tour was one of those happy travel surprises you don’t forget. The Funny Lion offers five styles of massage — from traditional Swedish/oil to reflexology — at prices that are roughly 20% of what you’d pay in the US (and notably more affordable than what we experienced at our Manila hotel). We booked a couples massage for that same evening, and both masseuses checked in immediately about pressure preferences. I like deep tissue intensity; my wife prefers something gentle. Both were perfectly responsive and attuned throughout. We walked out completely refreshed — and walked straight to the front desk to book again for the next day. Tipping is not requested or implied in any way, but at these prices and with this quality, we were genuinely delighted to tip, and our masseuses were so gracious and appreciative. The Location — A Happy Accident Worth Seeking Out About 8–10 minutes from the heart of Coron, The Funny Lion sits in a pocket of calm that feels worlds away from the noise and bustle of downtown. Honestly? It’s better out here. The resort provides free bikes, and upscale e-trikes and traditional trikes are available moments away whenever you want to explore. Knowing what I know now, I would actively avoid booking in Coron city proper and come straight back here. The seclusion, the quiet, the safari-chic atmosphere — it all adds up to something genuinely special. The Verdict The Funny Lion is a 10/10 in every category that matters: property, food, staff, spa, value, and soul. Whether you’re passing through Coron between islands or making it a destination unto itself, book this place without hesitation. We went in with zero expectations and left completely in love. We’ll be back.
• B9547YL_ (10/5): Best experience ever! - Wow!!! The best service I’ve ever seen! We had the best time in the hotel! The people were amazing, so nice!! Always helps with everything and spoiling with treats and gifts! 100% recommended!
• EmmyRae (10/5): Amazing! - Amazing experience! The staff are beyond amazing and the room and facilities are perfect! Would definitely stay here again if we are in Coron. Thank you to all the staff!
• 512vaniat (10/5): Great stay at Funny Lion - I had a really great stay at Funny Lion in Coron. The staff were incredibly friendly and hospitable, and I appreciated how they remembered my name - it made the experience feel more personal. I also liked the thoughtful touches, like the small drawstring goodie bag and the sweet treat left in the room. The breakfast was also enjoyable. While the selection wasn’t huge, it had all the essentials, and everything was well-prepared and tasty. The staff in the dining area were very attentive and made sure everything was taken care of. What stood out the most was how helpful everyone was. They assisted with arranging airport transport and even checked my flight details to make sure I had enough time—small things like that really made the stay stress-free. The room itself was excellent—very spacious, clean, and the bed was super comfortable. The rooftop view was also amazing, perfect for relaxing and taking in the scenery. Overall, it was a wonderful stay, and I’d definitely recommend Funny Lion to anyone visiting Coron.
• brendo299 (10/5): Best hotel in Coron - Amazing venue and staff. Highly recommended
• Global54954143992 (10/5): Outstanding experience in Coron - Amazing hotel, we just loved everything - especially the kindness of the team 🫶
• kellyaR6946MC (10/5): Amazing!! - Had an amazing time at The Funny Lion, we had a Tana suite which had its own plunge pool. The room was very spacious and the bathroom was beautiful, it had the best shower and great water pressure. Cute turn-down service each night ❤️ Staff were so friendly and always ready to help. Pool area was nice and set in the mangroves and only a little smell. The Mexican restaurant was my husbands favourite and the best margaritas he's had.
• simonbC6041ZB (10/5): Happy times at the Funny Lion - Chloe and her team made our stay enjoyable. Ensured my son’s birthday was a memorable one with welcome ballon’s in the room upon arrival! 🎈🎈Thanks to the Funny Lon team.
• 593fletcherb (10/5): Couldn't get any better - front desk was so welcoming, very good food and they cleaned everyday for us
• micak2022 (10/5): 5* Hotel - Highly Recommended! - I previously stayed at The Funny Lion - El Nido, and couldn’t wait to try out their sister hotel in Coron, as the El Nido branch was fab. The Funny Lion - Coron didn’t disappoint, in fact, it exceeded my expectations! Everything in the hotel is perfect: The friendly and kind staff (who greet you by first name!), food (the breakfast buffet is probably the best hotel breakfast I’ve had) and facilities (I loved the pool, Mexican restaurant and rooftop deck w/ jacuzzi). I also loved all the small touches and surprises throughout our stay - from the popsicles handed out at the pool area, to the daily turndown service and surprise bracelet/anklet/necklace making on Easter Sunday. To summarise, I thoroughly enjoyed our stay, would highly recommend The Funny Lion - Coron to other travellers, and I cannot wait to come back again one day. Thank you to all the amazing staff for making our stay WOW!
• gabslheureux (10/5): Amazing place and staff - Clean amenities, beautiful pools and beds were very comfy. Staff went above and beyond to make our stay enjoyable. The included breakfast was also delicious!!!
• miss_olivia_zarb (10/5): Can’t wait to return - We stayed at the funny lion in Coron for 5 nights for our honeymoon. From the first moment we welcomed with big smiles. The resort has everything you need - amazing restaurants, comfortable bed, relaxing massages, refreshing pools and a cool rooftop bar where we spent every evening before dinner. A highlight was the Easter dinner by the pool where they transformed the pool area into a beautiful dinning experience. We can’t wait to come back!
• joaolfcruz (10/5): Dreamy honeymoon experience - 5 starts all around, facilities, staff, all 3 different restaurants had amazing food, amazing swimming pools and the best sunset rooftop bar.
• PandVCorris (10/5): Stay at Funny Lion - We have stayed 1 night at the Funny Lion after arriving in Coron and will be returning again for 3 nights in 5 days time. The hotel has a comfortable room and a beautiful pool and sunset sky terrace. They also arrange for transfer from and to the airport.
• M3215LYcaitlinr (10/5): Great experience - Great little resort! I didn’t get pictures but the seafood buffet on Weds and Sats was outside by the pool with beautiful atmosphere and relaxing live music. Rooms were clean and cozy. Staff super friendly and helpful. Rooftop bar had a pretty view, delicious cocktails, and surprisingly amazing pizza! I would stay hear again for sure.
• brucemS6593EP (10/5): Top hotel to base your Coron activities from - Great hotel a short ride from the bustle of town. Good place to base your Coron activities from. The entire staff and team at the Funny Lion were exceptionally friendly & helpful, which made our stay that much more enjoyable.
• 106nazt (10/5): Great experience - Great value for money. Excellent food. Nice accommodations and service
• lukerA1399WU (10/5): Highlight of coron - This is lovely hotel, has some of the nicest staff ever and really probably the best food in coron
• Chutravels (10/5): The staff and hotel are amazing! - "The Funny Lion Coron and their entire team are truly amazing. The staff are the heart of this hotel—friendly, attentive, and always willing to go the extra mile. They handled everything for me, from securing ferry tickets and recommending local restaurants to booking tours. The little touches really stood out, like the delicious sweet treats left in the room every evening and the daily restocked fridge with complimentary juices. The hotel features two beautiful pools, and the rooftop is a must-visit; the happy hour is perfect for sunset, especially with the two rooftop mini-pools/hot tubs
• mariquitf2026 (10/5): Beautiful refuge - We had a wonderful stay at the quiet and peaceful Funny Lion which is situated away from buzzling streets of the City Center. Staff is super friendly, accommodating and the service is topnotch. We stayed at the Tana Suite, which is everything that we hoped for. Such a beautiful refuge after our scuba trips. Will definitely recommend the Funny Lion to family and friends! Will be back!
• blakea848 (10/5): Wonderful Coron Trip - Fantastic room, wonderful staff, beautiful location. Highest recommendation.
• L3396LBdavide (10/5): Great staff, good location. - The staff were helpful, friendly but not too pushy. The location was just outside but under 10 minutes and under £1 in one of plentiful tuk tuks. Sunset bar fabulous at sunset. Some aspects of room dated rather than funky!
• R3386ZNrosariol (10/5): My first coron experience. - Pleasant stay. The room is clean and spacious. Beddings are comfortable. Food is superb. Staff are very courteous and helpful.
• Go07768400877 (10/5): Great hotel & very attentive staff! - Great stay! Very attentive staff and great hotel. We were picked up at the airport (without even having to arrange it) and they literally took care of everything while we were there. Can only recommend it. :)
• charmainecM9932HC (10/5): GREAT EXPERIENCE IN CORON - THE BEST EXPERIENCE! Very accommodating staff, comfortable room, delicious food (saturday dinner buffet & breakfast buffet), and love the snacks you bring to our room! Our sleep was uninterrupted because there was no unnecessary noise. Plus the birthday surprise you prepared made Gabe’s birthday extra special. Thank you so much we will be back soon!
• Navigator06727093610 (10/5): Excellent Place - Calm place, good food, clean room, relaxing massage, friendly staff. This place is highly recommended. Will be back soon.
• lyzettee2026 (10/5): Definitely more than 10 Stars ⭐️ 🌟⭐️🌟⭐️🌟⭐️🌟⭐️🌟 - This trip did not go originally as planned. For our first time in Coron and to celebrate our anniversary, we were looking forward to explore and even join a tour. Unfortunately, from my doctor’s advice, no strenuous activities as we prepare for a medical procedure the coming week. We still continued with our trip and just thought of having a relaxing stay and go around the town. And staying at The Funny Lion to do just that exceeded our expectations. The warm welcome was a delight, giving us a tour around the place while we wait for our room to be set up. The thought of preparing a simple treat in our room to greet us on our anniversary captured us from the start, but how their people and the service are made us enjoy our stay and had it more relaxing. During breakfast, they even prepared the island’s specialty of Danggit Lamayo to the Filipino guests, knowing we had been looking for something ‘familiar’ while there were already a lot of options given to us and foreigner gifts. It was really thoughtful to say the least! Their restaurants and their rooftop bar were also great - that we did not mind really just staying and chilling there. The people never failed to greet us, assist when needed and even share recommendations. Though we were not able to explore the islands, we got to experience the heart of Coron - which is their people. The Funny Lion made our stay truly worthwhile. It was a relaxing and enjoyable stay - which was what we simply needed this time. Thank you to everyone and we are looking forward to go back!
• X5804AXjamess (10/5): Stay at the Funny Lion if you visit Coron! Super classy, relaxing and lovely service. - If I could give 10 stars I would. Amazing service, so friendly and attentive. The rooms are modern, classy, super comfy bed and soft sheets, great shower, hot and perfect pressure. The WiFi is super fast. There’s three different places to get food of different types which were delicious, two pools plus a sundeck with beautiful views of the bay and bubble tubs to relax in. Had live music at dinner. Tricycle ride into town only 50 pesos, and has free bikes to use too. And they went above and beyond to wish me a surprise happy birthday, thank you Chloe :). The tours in Coron bay are stunning and great value, a highlight of my trip. Highly recommend The Funny lion, fantastic value for money.
• carloe472 (10/5): One Big Roar! - It was truly a stay to remember. We will definitely come back. Thank you, The Funny Lion Coron for being our home. All of the staff are generous with their smiles. They made us feel welcomed. Our 10 yrs anniversary was made extra special because of you. See you again soon!
• robnC1465HT (10/5): The Funny Lion Coron Roars 🦁 - The hotel is really beautiful and the staff are incredibly friendly and helpful. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend the Funny Lion Coron to anybody who likes boutique hotels with great options for quality food and service.
• in_smS7899XV (10/5): A perfect stay ! - The location is outside of town so it’s quiet. The room is big and clean, and very confortable. The pools are very nice. The Mexican restaurant is delicious, as well as the cocktails. And most of all the staff is very nice and super helpful, which made our stay really lovely.
• V4736GSlucym (10/5): Nights stay at the funny lion - We had the best stay at the funny lion in coron.

• dejio293 (10/5): Great customer service experience - I had an excellent customer experience whilst staying at The Funny Lion in Coron. I would like to particularly praise Angel, who was always available to assist when needed. She provided an exceptional personalised service. The hotel facilities were good, with amazing sunset views from the rooftop. Complimentary snacks and drinks were provided to customers throughout the day which was a nice touch
• angelicasS5739QH (10/5): Beautiful resort, incredible service! - The Funny Lion surpassed my expectations. The resort was private and peaceful, only an easy 10 minute ride away from town with tricycles readily available. Our rooms were clean, quiet, and spacious and stocked with complimentary beverages and fruit. Everything we ate was delicious, from the breakfast buffet to the dinner buffet to the pizza at the rooftop bar. These were enough reasons to stay at the Funny Lion again, but the customer service was actually even better. The staff was so attentive and kind. They learned everyone’s names, helped book tours and transportation, prepared towels and cold water bottles for our outings, and so much more. My family and I would happily book here again!
• 469cailinm (10/5): Amazing 10/10 - Incredible stay. The funny Lion is the best hotel / resort I have ever experienced. The staff were kind and friendly, food was incredible.

• S888PJgrahamf (10/5): This hotel is outstanding in every aspect. From the peaceful, intimate setting to the first class service from each and - This hotel is outstanding in every aspect. From the peaceful, intimate setting to the first class service from each and every single staff member. Our room was spacious, and spotlessly clean. The food was excellent, with plenty of variety - from the Wednesday and Saturday BBQ, to the bar snacks on pride rock. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, and can’t wait to return! Thank you Funny Lion!
• Resort606827 (10/5): The First Hotel That Made Me Emotional - Our 6 night stay at The Funny Lion was nothing short of extraordinary. From the moment we arrived, we felt completely at home. Every single member of staff knew our names, asked how we were each day, and checked if we needed anything. It was never forced or rehearsed — it felt sincere. That kind of attentiveness is rare, and it made our entire trip. Special mentions to Ian, Lance and Elcy, you made our stay so personal and warm. The bartenders on the Pride Deck created such a great atmosphere every evening, and the chef deserves huge praise. The pepperoni pizza is a must (genuinely one of the best I’ve had) and the beef during our romantic dinner setup was outstanding. The romantic setup itself was beautiful and so thoughtfully arranged. It made the evening feel incredibly special and memorable. After six nights, it truly felt like we were leaving family. I’ve travelled to many places, but I have never been anywhere that moved me emotionally like this. I actually cried when we left which says everything. Thank you to the entire team for making us feel so cared for and so seen. We will absolutely be back. I cannot recommend this place enough.

Everything felt relaxed, welcoming and well organised. Truly a fantastic all-round stay and I’d happily recommend it to anyone visiting.
• 837kristinab (10/5): Unique stay in Coron - Very cute hotel in Coron with a unique character. Welcomed by lovely staff, in particular Angel. Facilities are very well kept and clean. Nice pool areas with a rooftop pool bar with exceptional sunset views. It is surrounded by trees so expect mosquitoes, be well prepared with insect repellents. We were delighted by the different freebies given during our stay, including bandanas and bracelets. Highly recommended.
• OssiG (10/5): Highly recommended! boutique hotel in Coron - We had a wonderful stay at this boutique hotel. The design is beautiful — stylish, elegant, and thoughtfully created in every detail. The service was more than excellent: efficient, professional, and always delivered with a warm smile. The staff was incredibly kind and welcoming throughout our stay. A very special thank you to Cloui, who organized such a lovely surprise for our 30th anniversary, which we celebrated while staying at the resort. It was truly touching and made our celebration even more memorable. We would also like to especially thank Ef from the morning breakfast service for the excellent care and attention. We apologize for not remembering all the other names, but we are sincerely grateful to the entire team. The location is very good — peaceful, quiet, and with a calm atmosphere that allows you to relax fully. Although there is no direct access to the beach, it was not a problem for us, since most day tours are out at sea anyway. Overall, an exceptional experience, and we would happily return. Highly recommended!
• louqjd (10/5): Good staff, great accommodations, clean rooms, and a quiet vibe—you can truly rest and relax. - We had an excellent stay—truly one of the best experiences we’ve had. The staff were incredibly accommodating and attentive. You don’t even have to ask; they are very observant and always ready to assist. We were especially happy with the breakfast. Since most of the guests are usually foreigners, we weren’t expecting to find Filipino options like danggit. But to our surprise, they made sure all of our requests were granted and thoughtfully catered to us as Filipino guests. That extra effort really made us feel valued and at home. We truly appreciate their warm hospitality and outstanding service. We will definitely recommend this hotel to others and would gladly stay here again.
• arvind366 (10/5): Hospitality on top! - PERFECT. Customer service is topnotch!!!!! The staff were the best!!! Huhuhu will be back for sure!
• 963ghazalehr (8/5): Serene space - Wonderful customer service. It was nice to come back to a safe, clean, and friendly environment after a long day of adventures.
• Wytham (10/5): Excellent Mexican Food In Lovely Outdoor Setting - [This review is for the hotel's restaurant: Cinco Grande only] This lovely place, is located in the Funny Lion Hotel in Coron. We really fancied Mexican and we weren't disappointed. We had had a large lunch, so were hoping that there were some smaller dishes. The menu is quite short, but really good - nice dishes: something different from what we've been having recently. We chose:   * Beer Nachos: beer nachos with pork picadillo, calamansi crema, red salsa, and jalapeno   Followed by: * Verdura soft taco: grilled cauliflower and fried okra on housemade purple yam tortilla with pumpkin puree, green salsa, and dukkah * Beef Birria soft taco: with corn salsa, bellpeppers, sundried tomato, onion & cheese served with biria broth   The dishes were really excellent: very tasty, nicely presented and overall, very satisfying. Great Filipino, friendly service, sitting outside in the evening warmth. Delightful meal and evening.
• 986karinv (10/5): Great little hotel with personal touch for costumers feeling welcome as priority - Great little hotel, where as a guest you feel genuinely welcomed by the staff. The staff goes out of their way to make you feel good and help out with what ever you need. If it is transportation, getting medication for sick companions, keeping an eye on recovery. You name it they do it and more. Rooms are great and shower even better. Location is nice and peaceful. Overal I would definitely recommend this hotel if you wanna stay with in Coron.
• chiaragrecomail (10/5): Simply perfect! Cannot miss it if you go tp Coron - My husband and I spent 4 days at the Funny Lion and I can certainly say that our stay was simply amazing. The hotel itself is beautiful, very clean and has very good facilities (2 pools, 2 restaurants, a SPA and a roof terrace with bar where you can enjoy the sunset). Breakfast is great as well as dinner at the Hunt. Guest are spoiled with plenty of attentions and perks, free minibar with fresh fruit juice and water, coffee and afternoon snacks delivered to your room. We’ve been gifted a branded bag and two bandanas at our arrival which added a wow effect! Special remark and thank you to Angel, she is simply amazing, so kind and professional, she constantly goes above and beyond and delivers an exceptional experience to the guests. She has been so friendly and welcoming to us, and made us feel at home. We will always keep Anger and the Funny Lion in our hearts.
• Staycay73 (10/5): We LOVED The Funny Lion! - We absolutely LOVED our stay at The Funny Lion Coron! The multiple pools were so refreshing, and we booked one of the suites with the plunge pool so that was an added bonus! (Just noting our plunge pool never really saw the sun with the lush vegetation all around, so really more like a cold plunge pool! In January being a bit colder, didn't use as much - but surely refreshing in the much warmer months!). The branding for everything at The Funny Lion is so on point, and so much attention to detail - it was wonderful. We got engaged while out on a private boat trip (which the staff helped us book) and so The Funny Lion will always hold a special place for us! Thank you for such an enjoyable stay, and we will be back for our 5 year anniversary! We went to The Funny Lion El Nido after Coron, and would love to stay at the Puerto Princesa location!
• 876nathalieo (10/5): Great experience ! Thank you! - What can we say? Everything was perfect!

• U5432ORmayak (10/5): The best hotel in Coron - We came to the funny lion for 3 nights for our honeymoon and it was AMAZING!!! From the moment we arrived to the hotel and until the moment we left the it was great. The staff is so nice, friendly and carrying, the food at the restaurants is great, the hotel design is making you feel at the vacation you dreamed and the rooftop for sunset and a drink is what we imagined our honeymoon to look like. They think of every little thing, from small snacks delivered to your room every evening to the ready to take bags with beach towels to the island tours! Amazing hotel, recommend it so much!
• Z9693ROcharlesb (10/5): The most amazing stay - We had the most amazing 3 night stay at The Funny Lion, Coron. The food and vibes were immaculate and luxurious and the staff were so helpful and friendly! We booked our boat trips through the hotel and they did everything for us, including arranging transfer to and from the port! The location was great, 20 minute walk to the town or you can grab a Tuktuk outside the hotel which only takes about 10 mins! We stayed in the Mara room with direct access to the beautiful second pool! We would definitely recommend staying here if you are visiting Coron. Very sad to be leaving but we will be back!

• Navigate08159230537 (10/5): Great stay - Our stay at The Funny Lion Coron was amazing and definitely one of the highlights of our trip. From the moment we arrived, we felt truly welcomed. We stayed in the Tana Room, which was beautiful, comfortable, and very well designed. What really stood out, though, was the incredible attention from the staff. As it was my birthday, they prepared a thoughtful welcome that felt personal and genuinely special. They also gave us a personalised tour of the hotel, taking the time to show us all the facilities and explain everything, including the room. It’s that extra care that really makes a difference and isn’t something you experience everywhere. A big thank you to the team for making our stay and birthday so memorable. We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Coron!

• jjperk90 (10/5): Great stay - Hospitality here is the best. Angel, along with the rest of the staff, always greeted us either a warm smile. The food at all the restaurants was amazing, no need to leave the hotel after a long day on the water. Felt at home and couldn’t have asked for a better stay.
• 713gillh (10/5): Beautiful boutique hotel, wonderful in every way with exceptional staff. Highly recommended! - We had a fabulous family reunion with our sons, staying a week over Christmas. The Funny Lipn hotel has been nothing short of fabulous. The rooms, gorgeous pools and amazing rooftop bar really made the stay special - and we ate very well too! The team at The Funny Lion Coron has been exceptional. Friendly, always on hand to help and made our stay extra special. Can’t recommend it highly enough!
• Z9093VBsarahl (10/5): Would definitely recommend staying at The Funny Lion for a comfortable, fun stay with exceptional service! - We had an amazing stay at The Funny Lion! We went for our honeymoon, and the room was decorated to celebrate that, which was a nice touch! The staff were all very friendly, hospitable, and went above and beyond to meet our needs - truly exceptional service. The breakfast buffet was amazing, and both restaurants served great food. The turn-down service also included a nightly sweet treat which was always a delicious baked good! Location was a short (~5-8min tricycle ride) into Coron town, and tricycles were always available at the front desk. The staff even helped us to arrange trips. The rooms were clean and tidy, and the pools were lovely. We especially liked the pools on Pride Rock Deck. The branding of the hotel and also the information provided made everything feel very intentional and well-thought out. A truly unforgettable experience! Would recommend to anyone traveling to Coron for a unique and pleasant experience :).

Salamat kaayo The Funny Lion staff! 😊
• Madshng (10/5): A grand experience all around - A wonderful experience every step of the way. The staff were so friendly and always remembered our names and room which made us feel at home. They set up the room with ballons and cake for my boyfriends birthday on arrival which was a nice touch. We tried the food at Hunt, Cinco Grande and the rooftop bar and it was great in all 3! We would love to come stay again
• apM6404SG (10/5): Best hotel we've ever been to - My husband and I stayed at the funny lion for Christmas, and it was incredible. The staff are the friendliest people we've met on our trip to the Philippines, and the hotel itself was unbelievable, with the landscaping and decorations tying into the theme beautifully. The room was super comfy, clean, and luxurious. The breakfast buffet has a ridiculous number of gourmet items, which is even more impressive considering they had new things every morning, and they even brought complimentary homemade desserts and drinks to our room each day.
• sergioy436 (10/5): Best hotel me and my wife ever stayed at! 🦁 - Best hotel we ever stayed! So much attention to details, staff are incredibly nice, and amenities/food are amazing. Everything was extremely smooth 🦁💚
• yojieg (10/5): The Funny Lion 2025 - Our stay at The Funny Lion was one of a kind. The service is unmatched. Everyone was very welcoming and accommodating. Will definitely book here again.
• bernardocavassin (10/5): The Best Decision of Our Trip to the Philippines! - Our stay at The Funny Lion was wonderful from the moment we arrived until the minute we left. If there is one thing we got right on our trip to the Philippines, it was choosing this hotel. The place is beautiful, designed with meticulous attention to detail, and truly feels like a 5-star experience. The staff was fantastic and made a huge effort to ensure we were happy and comfortable at all times. They really pampered us with special care throughout our stay—they even surprised me with a lovely cake in our room for my birthday! They helped us with absolutely everything regarding local logistics, including the seamless airport transfer. The room was incredibly comfortable—excellent AC, lighting, decor, and high-quality bedding meant we slept very well every night. We ended up eating only at the hotel because the options were delicious and the prices were very fair. Since we stayed during Christmas, the hotel organized a special dinner where we felt incredibly welcomed and cozy. It was a fantastic evening. We also used the spa, and the massage was one of the best I’ve had in Asia. Finally, the rooftop Sunset Bar is spectacular and designed perfectly for the end of the day. Highly recommended!
• D3657QJchristellep (10/5): Thankyou, The Funny Lion! - We had such a great experience in our 2days stay here at Funny Lion. Staffs are very friendly and accommodating. Always ensure that you are safe and enjoying the stay. Also, there are lots of freebies. Not just for adults but also to our kids. Defintely will be back here soon. Thankyou so much The Funny Lion. No wonder they are top 1 hotel here in Coron.
• 555arrong (10/5): It’s more fun in Funny Lion Coron - The resort is amazing, very cozy, the experience we are overwhelmed, we are really having fun, accommodation room is superb
• yvertd (8/5): A relaxing resort - Filipino hospitality is second to none. The people are so welcoming, friendly and helpful. So what makes the staff at the Funny Lion so special. Well, they simply go that extra mile. On our first morning, we almost missed breakfast, but fortunately the staff noticed we hadn’t been in and gave us a call to remind us the breakfast room would be closing soon. When they heard we had an early morning tour the next day, they checked we were OK for breakfast, they reminded us to pick up some beach towels (we had forgotten) and checked we had everything we needed. The hotel itself is also nice with two restaurants and a rooftop bar. The main restaurant does a buffet on Wednesdays and Saturdays. There’s a fair range of food, but I thought there could have been a few more Filipino dishes to try. The Mexican restaurant was also OK. The starters were very tasty especially the ceviche type dishes. The mains weren’t bad but it would have been even better had the dishes been a bit more varied. The rooftop bar was probably my favourite of the three. You can lay in one of the two the mini jacuzzi-type pools and sip a cocktail while watching the sun set. It’s worth taking advantage of their happy hour (5-7pm) where they do a BOGOF on their signature cocktails (very good) or 4 beers for the price of 3. Their pizzas in the bar are pretty decent too. They are individual pizzas so if you’re hungry one might not be enough. The spa offers some great massages. I had a dry massage which works purely on applying the right amount of pressure in the right places and my wife had the oil massage. We were very pleased with them. My wife liked hers so much she booked in again the next day As for the room, it was OK. I think we should have paid a little more and gone for a better room, but it was fine. It was pretty standard with a mini-bar, TV , air-con and safe. The nice thing was the freshly cooked biscuits they would leave us every day. Those, the lovely welcome and departure gifts plus the truly excellent service makes the Funny Lion a hotel I would most definitely recommend.
• thristinak (10/5): Amazing experience. The staff is so hardworking and create a great experience for the guests. - Great location with transportation to to Coron very accessible. The heart of Coron is only 5 minutes by tuk tuk. The staff will als help with directions speaking directly to tuk tuk driver.
• andrewhM8660IY (10/5): FUNNY?? No, just perfectly brilliant. - Chloe. The only name you need to know. Personally, thank you so much for taking care of us. We booked a tour and the tour company failed to pick us up. Chloe went above and beyond, making sure we got on our excursion, and It was the best tour!! Because of this, visiting Caron was the best part of our stay in the Philippines. If you’re looking for recommendations on hotel, look no further. This place is a magical haven. Don’t even get me started on the rooftop lounge and the sunsets. Chloe, thanks so much for being the absolute best and making Caron amazing for us. Take care, Andrew and Mark.
• A3705TSkimr (10/5): Stay at this resort! - My husband and I had a wonderful stay at The Funny Lion - Coron. From check in to check out, we were treated so well there. We were there for 4 nights and the hotel had everything we needed to enjoy our stay. The staff was extremely kind and accommodating. We always saw them with a genuine smile and they wanted to make sure we were well taken care of. The shared areas were well maintained. The Hunt and Cinco Grande restaurants were absolutely delicious. The two pools were nice to lay out in during the day. The rooftop bar was the place to be during sunset. Honestly, there is no reason to not stay at this hotel. You will absolutely enjoy it as much as we did!
