    private beach
    fantastic breakfast
    attentive staff
    cramped storage

    My stay at The Funny Lion was filled with unforgettable moments! The private beach access, Papaya Beach, was a true paradise where I could enjoy snorkeling and relax without any crowds. The breakfast options were fantastic, offering a delightful blend of local and international cuisine, setting a perfect tone for the day. The staff knew my name from day one, making me feel like part of the family!

    Slightly cramped room storage.

    amazing staff
    ocean view
    no elevator

    Just spent 5 nights at The Funny Lion and it was fantastic! The staff were super accommodating, moving us to a 4th-floor room with an ocean view. Loved the buffet breakfast and dinner with live music. Only downside was the lack of an elevator.

    noisy road
    awkward bathroom

    Unfortunately, our stay was marred by the noisy road outside, which often disturbed our mornings. the bathroom setup was unconventional, with the sink placed in the room rather than the bathing area, which felt awkward. While the staff offered cheerful service, the noise issues made it challenging to fully relax during our stay.

    exceptional service

    Family getaway with exceptional service!

    I was blown away by the exceptional hospitality from the staff! ! They remembered my family’s names and made us feel like family with every interaction. , especially when they delivered towels and drinks promptly after checking in. , It truly set the tone for our stay.

    It wasn’t exactly inexpensive, but honestly, every bit of the experience was worth it.

    comfortable stay but noisy surroundings

    The staff exuded warmth and friendliness from the moment I arrived, making me feel welcome. The room I stayed in was spacious with a really comfortable bed, perfect for relaxation after a long day. Access to the private beach was a delight, and I thoroughly enjoyed the kayaks and paddleboards available for use. The serene pool had an inviting view that added to the overall enjoyment of my stay.

    The noise from the main street outside often disturbed my mornings, making it challenging to rest fully.

    relaxing pool area
    limited evening entertainment

    The hotel offered a fantastic breakfast buffet each morning, and the clean, well-maintained rooms made the stay very pleasant. the pool area next to the bar was the perfect spot for relaxation, especially during happy hour with its great drink specials.

    While the hotel had many activities, I would have enjoyed more evening entertainment options.

    The staff's warmth was evident from the start, with cheerful service adding a welcoming touch to the experience. The breakfast featured delightful thin, crispy fries that set the tone for each day. there were minor inconveniences, such as occasionally limited evening entertainment and minor maintenance issues within the facilities that could use some attention to enhance the visitor experience.

    great location but overall could improve

    The location was exactly what we wanted, with easy access to stunning beaches. The complimentary boat transfer to a private beach with excellent facilities truly enhanced our experience. Breakfast options covered both Asian and Western tastes, which was a pleasant surprise.

    While the stay was enjoyable, I found the evening entertainment options lacking.

    great breakfast
    helpful service
    overpriced shuttle

    Amazing stay with a few hiccups

    We were chilled by the staff's friendliness! Christian was super helpful and always made us feel welcome. The breakfast was a highlight – especially the coffee! The only issue was the cost of the airport shuttle. it seemed overpriced for such a short ride. it was a memorable experience.
