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 Jan 7, 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.

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 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Rosanna Jul 21, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Most Fun and Comfortable Stay My family and I stayed at The Funny Lion - El Nido for four days, and let me tell you…it was the most comfortable, most enjoyable, most fun-filled stay of our whole trip! Let me begin to say that the check in process was superb, so very smooth and the staff were so kind and inviting, all with smiling faces! From beginning and end of our trip there, the whole staff remembered all 8 of our names and anytime they would pass us by they would say our names and it made it so personable! We loved it! The rooms were so very clean and tidy, the breakfast buffet was phenomenal every morning, and the pool was oh so relaxing next to the bar (which by the way they have happy hour and great drinks)! I would like to point out that Ralph and Ceejay were so very courteous and tended to our needs every day the whole day! Surprisingly as well, the hotel offered complimentary archery which me and my family found as a fun way to fill our afternoon for a bit when we weren’t busy! Thank you MM for teaching us how to shoot the bow and arrow!! So much fun! I cannot wait to come to this hotel again and will definitely recommend this place to family and friends!!! ##### Rosanna Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2024 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Hotels near Cortes Island](https://www.expedia.ca/Cortes-Island-Hotels.d553248621593511311.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Fairfield Inn & Suites by Marriott Revelstoke](https://www.expedia.ca/Revelstoke-Hotels-Fairfield-Inn-Suites-By-Marriott-Revelstoke.h63330988.Hotel-Information) > > [Bahia Principe Grand Coba - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Akumal-Hotels-Bahia-Principe-Grand-Coba-All-Inclusive.h1414071.Hotel-Information) > > [Address Beach Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Dubai-Hotels-Address-Jumeirah-Resort.h57821246.Hotel-Information) > > [Gaylord Opryland Resort & Convention Center](https://www.expedia.ca/Nashville-Hotels-Gaylord-Opryland-Resort-Convention-Center.h21317.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels with Early Check-in in Mississauga](https://www.expedia.ca/Mississauga-Hotels-Hotel-With-Early-Check-In.0-0-d7954-thotelwithearlycheckin.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hotels in Toronto](https://www.expedia.ca/Pearson-Intl-Airport-Hotels.0-aYYZ-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [The Funny Lion](https://www.expedia.ca/Coron-Hotels-The-Funny-Lion.h11066869.Hotel-Information) > > [Princesa Garden Island Resort and Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Puerto-Princesa-Hotels-Princesa-Garden-Island-Resort-And-Spa.h8762633.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Blackfoot](https://www.expedia.ca/Calgary-Hotels-Hotel-Blackfoot.h15839.Hotel-Information) > > [Blue Lagoon Inn & Suites](https://www.expedia.ca/Puerto-Princesa-Hotels-Blue-Lagoon-Inn-Suites.h6073830.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Midtown East](https://www.expedia.ca/Midtown-East-New-York-Hotels.0-n6141525-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [mixed-dormitory room](https://www.expedia.ca/Coron-Hotels-Vrbo-Property.h40003240.Hotel-Information) > > [Dreams Playa Mujeres Golf & Spa Resort - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Cancun-Hotels-Dreams-Playa-Mujeres-Golf-Spa-Resort.h13363267.Hotel-Information) > > [Motels Toronto](https://www.expedia.ca/Toronto-Motels.d178314-aaMotels.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) > > [Nova Inn Yellowknife](https://www.expedia.ca/Yellowknife-Hotels-Nova-Inn-Yellowknife.h1709209.Hotel-Information) > > [Two Seasons Coron Bayside Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Coron-Hotels-Two-Seasons-Coron-Bayside-Hotel.h16579864.Hotel-Information) > > [Best Western Plus Executive Inn](https://www.expedia.ca/Toronto-Hotels-Best-Western-Plus-Executive-Inn.h879994.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from Tisdale (YTT) to Regina (YQR)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/ytt/yqr/tisdale-to-regina) > > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to West Lebanon (LEB)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/leb/toronto-to-lebanon) > > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Calgary (YYC)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/yyc/toronto-to-calgary) > > [Flights from Orlando (MCO) to Fort Myers (RSW)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/mco/rsw/orlando-to-fort-myers) > > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Washington (DCA)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/dca/toronto-to-washington) > > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Edmonton (YEG)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/yeg/toronto-to-edmonton) ### Cars ### Packages > [Barclays Center Brooklyn](https://www.expedia.ca/Barclays-Center-Brooklyn-New-York.d6194919.Vacation-Attraction)
