Very welcoming. ##### Jason Stayed 6 nights in Mar 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ravikaran 5 Jan 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Really great place to stay. Very new, modern and clean building. Only slight annoyance was hearing some of the road noise from our room. Special props to Val on the front desk and the security guard who gave us all the recommendations and made us feel incredibly welcome. ##### Ravikaran Stayed 3 nights in Dec 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Andrew 8 Dec 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities A place that really goes the extra mile for an amazing experience, from great cocktails (hard to find in Philippines), to packed breakfast with our 5am departure, to wonderful polite and friendly staff, and even have a serviced feet rinsing station when returning from the beach, friendship bracelets, a private beach area nearby with transfers I was unaware of before booking… need I go on… ##### Andrew Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Anna 12 Feb 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities This is an amazing property that has great water pressure, with comfortable beds! The water is all filtered so you do not need to worry when brushing teeth! The staff go above and beyond! They are courteous, friendly and knowledgeable! It is a safe haven for rest and relaxation after a long day on the water! I definitely recommend! ##### Anna Stayed 4 nights in Feb 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### ENOC 1 Dec 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The staff is great. Starting from security at the front steps who opens car doors and makes you feel welcome each day and evening. Val at the front desk was above and beyong sweet and friendly. All the staff learns your name. They are super sweet and kind. Will definitely stay there again. ##### ENOC Stayed 4 nights in Nov 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lee 1 Dec 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Great staff and private beach bonus This was a couples scuba diving trip for my wife and I, where the highlight of our trip to El Nido was the staff at The Funny Lion Hotel. Incredibly, every time one of us walked past a staff member we were greeted by name! Whether Zel, Val, Sharmaine, Julie, CJay, Kem and Kim in the reception area or Cham at bar, all of them called us by our name from day one of our week-long visit. Their warm Filipino gesture came along with the delicious local and western breakfast together with daily access to the Hotel's private Papaya Beach, just a short boat ride away at a nearby hidden cove. ##### Lee Stayed 6 nights in Nov 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 7 Jan 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Disliked: Staff & service #### Poor communication between hotels.com and Funny Li Main complaint is the poor communication between hotels.com and The Funny Lion despite communicating with each individually to change a booking. Ended up paying for nights we didn’t stay despite requesting change before cut off date. The hotel itself was nice and in a good location to restaurants ##### Verified traveller Stayed 4 nights in Dec 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Michael 13 Sept 2024 Liked: Staff & service Disliked: Property conditions & facilities There is no elevator....the bathroom is small and not user friendly.the staff was helpfull and friendly.overpriced for what they offer ##### Michael Stayed 4 nights in Sep 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Joseph 9 Sept 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Wow!!!! A beautiful experience. Thanks From the very first minute all the staff and security treat us so well and made us feel special, and we settled in immediately. The hotel itself, rooms, pool, bar/restaurant area etc were all immaculate, modern and comfortable, and the breakfast, shakes and evening food were great. As it was our first time in El Nido we weren’t too sure on what to do during the daytime, so it was a lovely surprise to find that the hotel offers complimentary access to their own private beach just a small boat ride away - and wow! this was a small piece of heaven that we just had to go back to on the second day. Would definitely recommend staying at The Funny Lion, it’s already on our list for when we plan our next trip to the Philippines. Thank you so much for making our wedding/honeymoon trip that extra special. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/D7363643FC03568850BC159BF016BDBB1F7C6A3D1725878820214.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/03F1AB3D1B951CD69CA9260F2FC8088948D477701725878818209.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/ECAD58A3DE0E0A2B36B333EBB8040ADD56BF85B61725878818769.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/622A88DF3C02F6492BDA8C8466AF94870EF9305A1725878817421.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Joseph Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2024 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Puerto Del Sol Beach Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bolinao-Hotels-Puerto-Del-Sol-Beach-Resort.h9404916.Hotel-Information) > > [Dakak Park & Beach Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dapitan-Hotels-Dakak-Park-Beach-Resort.h8836095.Hotel-Information) > > [Camaya Coast Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Camaya-Coast-Hotel.h33786001.Hotel-Information) > > [Paolyn Floating House Restaurant](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Coron-Hotels-Paolyn-Floating-House-Restaurant.h36701674.Hotel-Information) > > [Matabungkay Beach Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Lian-Hotels-Matabungkay-Beach-Hotel.h8814684.Hotel-Information) > > [Ultra Winds Mountain Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Baungon-Hotels-Ultra-Winds-Mountain-Resort-Adults-Only.h16568126.Hotel-Information) > > [Flory's Inn](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Liloan-Hotels-Florys-Inn.h15435100.Hotel-Information) > > [Lakawon Island Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cadiz-City-Hotels-Lakawon-Island-Resort.h48718784.Hotel-Information) > > [Crystal Cove](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sipalay-Hotels-Crystal-Cove.h99766251.Hotel-Information) > > [Coco Grove Beach Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dumaguete-Hotels-Coco-Grove-Beach-Resort.h3169608.Hotel-Information) > > [White Beach Hotel Puerto Galera powered by Cocotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Puerto-Galera-Hotels-White-Beach-Hotel-Bar-And-Restaurant.h9732017.Hotel-Information) > > [Lime Resort El Nido](https://www.expedia.co.uk/El-Nido-Hotels-Lime-Resort-El-Nido.h83720252.Hotel-Information) > > [Bravo Hotel and Resorts](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dumaguete-Hotels-Bravo-Hotel-And-Resorts.h15930116.Hotel-Information) > > [Treasure Island Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Masbate-City-Hotels-Treasure-Island-Hotel.h34358752.Hotel-Information) > > [House of the Rising Sun](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ibajay-Hotels-House-Of-The-Rising-Sun.h23253022.Hotel-Information) > > [Playa Tropical](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Currimao-Hotels-Playa-Tropical.h4937694.Hotel-Information) > > [Outpost Hostel - Coron - Adults Only](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Coron-Hotels-Outpost-Hostel-Coron-Adults-Only.h50877238.Hotel-Information) > > [Punta Punta Surf Retreat](https://www.expedia.co.uk/General-Luna-Hotels-Cabitoonan.h95849636.Hotel-Information) > > [The Reef Island Resort Mactan, Cebu](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Lapu-Lapu-Hotels-The-Reef-Island-Resort-Mactan-Cebu.h45810437.Hotel-Information) > > [White Beach Resort Puerto Galera powered by Cocotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Puerto-Galera-Hotels-White-Beach-Resort.h8964040.Hotel-Information) > > [Coralview Beach Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Morong-Hotels-Coralview-Beach-Resort.h39009460.Hotel-Information) > > [Two Seasons Coron Island Resort ](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Coron-Hotels-Two-Seasons-Coron-Island-Resort-Spa.h6118021.Hotel-Information) > > [Santander Pebbles Beach Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Santander-Hotels-Santander-Pebbles-Beach-Resort.h15705797.Hotel-Information) > > [Cebu Safari and Adventure Park](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Carmen-Hotels-Safari-Camp-At-Cebu-Safari-Park.h42543778.Hotel-Information) > > [Dos Palmas Island Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Puerto-Princesa-Hotels-Dos-Palmas-Island-Resort-Spa.h8082271.Hotel-Information) > > [Fox & The Firefly Cottages](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Loboc-Hotels-Fox-The-Firefly-Cottages.h18586243.Hotel-Information) > > [ Discovery Coron](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Coron-Hotels-Club-Paradise.h554632.Hotel-Information) > > [Mamima BnB](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Caramoan-Hotels-Mamima-BnB.h89788021.Hotel-Information) > > [Garin Farm Pilgrimage Resort powered by Cocotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/San-Joaquin-Hotels-Cocotel-GarinFarm-Pilgrimage-Resort.h44395494.Hotel-Information) ---
