    “The staff were always presentable, energetic and welcoming. Upon arrival, they had offered a variety of treats including accessories and sweets and immediately made us feel so welcome and relaxed. The hotel atmosphere is young, fresh and chic. Due to poor weather we spent a lot of time in the bar and pool area chatting to staff and relaxing. Never felt bad about our tours being cancelled thanks to them! Loved the rooms and bed especially.”

  • Overall experiences are very excellent and satisfying

    “I had an amazing stay at Funny Lions! From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel incredibly welcome with complimentary welcome gifts, which was such a thoughtful touch. The mini bar was generously stocked and added to the overall luxury experience. The pool was absolutely stunning—clean, relaxing, and perfect for unwinding after a day of exploring. What really stood out was the attention to detail and the surprises throughout our stay. We were delighted to receive lovely gifts before departure, making our experience even more memorable. The service was exceptional, the facilities were excellent, and every member of the team went above and beyond to make us feel special. I highly recommend Funny Lions to anyone visiting Coron and looking for a comfortable, welcoming, and unforgettable stay. I can't wait to come back!”

    “Excellent staff,clean tidy, pool great. Close to bars and 11 min walk to other end of El Nido beach. No views in back rooms only of pool.”

  • We would definitely go back but perhaps not stay at the back where the animal noise was.
