We came a few days after the typhoon hit El Nido area, the resort communicated with us, their staff was amazing, the resort was very clean, great customer service - the food was excellent - we had a wonderful time given weather from the Typhoon that hit north during our stay.

A great hotel for a stopover enroute to the islands. Ask for a room away from the road, given the traffic noise can be loud. Nice breakfast and staff lovely. A sanctuary from the busy town.

Very clean! Very kind staff. Good food, breakfast and drinks. Nice pool. They have a private beach called Papaya Beach, a very clean one too. The ride to the private beach is free with a great tour guide. The beach has great spot for snorkeling. I highly highly recommend this place!

The staff is amazing. Property is clean and the ocean is only 2 minutes away. Shops and restaurants are only minutes away as well. The food is great. The only negative is that they don't have an elevator/lift.

Amazing staff!! I loved how Val remembered every guest's name and addressed them every time she saw them. The hotel is located at a very good location, right next to the town square. The rooms are very botique styled, small but cute! We had an amazing time at Funny lion and would recommend to all.

Excellent!! Staff is what really makes this resort. Shout out to Val from front desk who literally remembers every single guest name in the hotel. Also, Vince (server/bartender) who took care of us. The complimentary trip to Papaya beach was the highlight of the our stay, thanks to Val for convincing us to go:)

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…

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!
