In the hotels I've stayed, this is definitely one of my favorites. The Funny Lion is a beautiful hotel with good amenities and a lot of complimentary items that make you feel appreciated as a customer. The staff was outstanding, especially Sir June who took excellent care of my party and me and made sure we had everything we needed. If you're looking for a nice place with friendly staff and peaceful surroundings, book now!

Staff here went above and beyond to make me feel at home. Could not walk past the staff without a friendly greeting, and a few words food options were good. Pool was clean. Private beach was an easy walk. You can also catch the sunrise in the morning, which was beautiful Room, good size clean and had everything I could want only downside they do not have an ATM on site and it is a little away from town to get to one lots of options to book to do different things. Unfortunately it was raining while I was there so I didn’t get to do much activities , overall five stars I would stay there again hands-down

This was probably the most amazing hotel we've ever stayed at! Service was beyond imagination and everything was very clean, neat, and thoughtfully done. Our flight got in at 7am and they still let us check in, and added a breakfast buffet for us to devour after our tiring journey. The food was perfect, the drinks perfect, and the rooms impeccable. The beds and showers were so comfy too. Also their bakery goods (cookies, brownies, coffees) were the best I've ever had. I looked up the place for El Nido as well, but they were fully booked. I'd give the place 6 stars if I could!

Newly opened property, still not at full operation, but I can only imagine how fine a hotel this will be after the grand opening. Little touches of service make this place special. Complimentary airport transfer, welcome drink and towelette, turn down service with local sweets, no charge for late check out. The staff know your name and always greet you with a smile. The food and drinks were excellent quality. They even packed me a to-go breakfast for an early morning tour, and had a beach towel in a branded tote ready to go for me. Wonderful experience in Puerto Princesa!
