The Funny Lion - El Nido

I have a lot of positive comments I like to share about the property. First impression very friendly staff especially Val and also Kem. Lavatory facilities excellent! You need it in the Philippines. Choose the Top Floor for sea views. There’s no lift (elevator) but I didn’t mind the steps. The massage was blisss with Clarisse. Breakfast was great. I like the savory dishes everyday (we stayed for 4 nights) aside from usual bacon and eggs, etc. and the coffee is superb! Great location just a step away from the beach where the tours (a must) depart to see the islands. Within walking distance to restaurants.

Staff are so nice and taking good care of the customers. Not to mention their smile, always. CJAY helped us a lot during our stay from the beginning till the end.

Amazing hotel! Staff are very nice! Pool is good.

Fabulous hotel. The friendliest service I have had at any hotel anywhere on earth. The building and rooms are also beautiful, they really look like the photos! The pool is lovely and backs on the jungle on the hillside. Breakfast is also excellent with fresh made-to-order eggs and coffee. The private beach (next to Seven Commandos beach, with similar views) is lovely, very quiet. Boats leave to the beach at 9am and 11am, and return at 2pm and 4pm. Easy walk to shops/restaurants in the town, but also feels quiet and secluded. One of the best hotels I've ever stayed at, you should stay there too!

Greetings from Rodica&Cosmin: We read the very good reviews about the hotel and decided to choose this hotel for our stay in El Nido for 9 days, including the Christmas and New Year's Eve . I was very curious if they were true, and now I can confirm: -From the moment you step into the hotel you feel like you are in a family, all the staff are very dedicated and attentive to make the guests feel good. I would like to especially appreciate the team from the Front Office who always took care of our requests very promptly: booking trips, taxi, recommendations (Hi Val!) - The kitchen is extraordinary, a combination of traditional Filipino dishes with European dishes, all cooked with great taste, perfectly. I would like to personally send greetings to the Chef for the extraordinary New Year's Eve dinner. Also, you should not miss the event every Friday: barbecue dinner. Order with confidence the food from the hotel restaurant and from the bar, very tasty, a very good price-quality ratio, compared to what is found in El Nido (Hi Marvin, brother) - The room is nicely decorated, I received from the hotel natural juices and fresh fruits. Very comfortable bed, every day you wake up with a view of the pool. - Another plus is the location of the hotel, in the newest area of ​​El Nido, very close to the area with restaurants and bars, but without being affected by their noise. -I would like to note the organization of the New Year's Eve event, the dinner was extraordinary, we had a fireworks display from the roof of the hotel, where there is a view over the whole of El Nido. - Many thanks to the hotel manager, Mr. Nilo, for taking care every day that we feel very good and for socializing. - I would say in the end that staying at Funny Lion in El Nido is not just a simple stay but an entire experience that we enjoyed for 9 days.
