Loved the staff , they make us feel very special, always with a smile. The hotel is amazing, they send us snacks and special drinks every afternoon. They made us Filipino breakfast every morning. Very relaxing place with lots of plants and trees around. There is a roof top with jacuzzi and bar with a nice view of the bay. It’s worth every penny.

Where do I even start?! It was my first time in Coron and I’m glad I chose to stay at The Funny Lion. The staff were beyond amazing. My boyfriend and I took a trip to celebrate our anniversary and both of our birthdays and the staff surprised us with personalized greetings on our TVs as well as balloons and mini birthday cakes for the both of us in our room. The amenities checked all the boxes. Transportation into the town was a breeze as there are tricycles parked and ready right outside the hotel. I can’t say good enough things about the service and staff at the Funny Lion! I will recommend this hotel and would definitely stay here again if ever I’m back in Coron.

It’s the warmth and friendliness of the staff that make the place stand out from others. The hotel itself is comfortable, food is good. The only cons I would say is the walk from the reception to your room. If it rains, the ground is slippery but they put a rubber rag to walk in. You only have to make sure to walk on it. All in all, our stay is one of the most comfortable places so far.
