Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
The Funny Lion - El Nido is known for its beautiful, resort-like design and convenient location near Townsquare, placing it within walking distance of restaurants and the beach where island tours depart. Guests consistently praise the spacious and clean rooms, which come equipped with complimentary welcome drinks and sometimes offer sea views from the top floor. The breakfast buffet receives high marks for its wide selection and delicious options; however, some guests have noted that rooms facing the road can experience traffic noise. The hotel also provides access to the exclusive Papaya Beach, complete with refreshing drinks.

The staff were friendly upon arrival and throughout my stay. The hotel offers a private beach, a detail not advertised enough. It includes a boat transfer to another island. You can get drinks there.
The room I was assigned faced the street. It was noisy! External noise disrupted my sleep. I was moved to another room but noise persisted.
