Funny Lion

Top choice in Coron Town


Funny Lion has the nicest rooms in town and incredible views from its 5th-floor walk-up bar area, where duelling cold-water whirlpools, sunset views and yummy bar snacks make for a delightful happy hour. There's a bigger pool down below, overlooked by rooms done up in a tasteful island style, with boutique sinks, flat-screen TVs and plenty of handsome dark wood.

Our lone fuss is that the rooms lack terraces to take advantage of those views. It's about 1km north of the centre (tricycle P50).
