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.

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!!!

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.

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…

Overall a great and new hotel that has a lot of potential to grow. The room was spacious enough and the balcony was nice that overlooked the pool and restaurant. The staff was friendly and they helped ensure we had a great stay through their attentiveness at the restaurant and whenever we passed by the front desk. They provided a great laundry service especially when we placed the service around 3pm and it was finished by 9pm. The food was great for the breakfast and dinner. Awesome happy hour deals with different kinds of cocktails and beers. It’s under a 5 minute walk to the beach and a lot of cafes and stores along the beach.

We had thoroughly enjoyed our stay at The Funny Lion El Nido. The staff from Food and Beverage, front desk, bar. Tours and even security guard made our stay so enjoyable and memorable. They catered to all of our needs without making us feel overwhelming and we felt like a part of "the family" while staying there. I cant say enough but defintely would recommend and no doubt would stay there when we return again. Thank you Joel, Lilo, C-Jay, Ronnel, Tang, Christian, Ann,Montives and many other staff who made our stay so so wonderful. Miss all of you guys when we left.

This hotel is brand new (still in its soft opening) and i know it will be the #1 place to stay in El Nido. We stayed 5 nights and were absolutely blown away by the level of hospitality we received. The staff are the most kind and special people we have ever come across in our travels. Our room was well appointed, comfortable king bed, overlooking the pool. We enjoyed dining at the on site restaurant a few times. Breakfast is wonderful. We made the short walk into town a few nights for drinks and to browse the shops. The hotel staff arranged a boat tour for us as well as a transfer to the Nacpan beach which was lovely. Funny lion also provides a short transfer to papaya beach (for hotel guests) which is an oasis of a place- very easy to get to and not busy at all. The water is phenomenal. Run, don’t walk to book your stay here. We are already planning a trip back! Thanks to the staff, we miss you already!!! -Ashley, Colin and Darren from Canada!

5月に4日間宿泊しましたが、ホテルに空港からの送迎をメールにてお願いしましたが、気温39度の中1時間30分まった後、歩いてトライシクルに乗ってホテルに到着しました。フロントに伝えるとスタッフは謝る事無く、帰りの送迎を利用して欲しいとリクエストされました。パートナーは不愉快に思い帰りの送迎はお願いしませんでした。暑い中、1500ペソ払っても送迎頼んだのに来ない事はとても残念な事です。しかし道路側ではない高層階リクエストはできたので部屋は清潔でよかったです。口コミにあるようにプールの床は滑りやすくパートナーは足を滑らせ怪我してしまいました。食事に関しては4日間朝利用しましたが、フィリピンにしては良い方だと思います。それ以外は挨拶等はしっかり教育されていました。周りにマッサージ、レストランもあり利便性は良いです。暑い時はトライシクル利用すれば歩く事もありません。エルニドはホテル料金が高いのでトータルでは合格なのでまた、利用したいと思うホテルです。
