I had an amazing 2-night stay at The Funny Lion in Puerto Princesa. The standout feature for me was the very nice staff, who went above and beyond to ensure I had a wonderful experience. However, I was a little disappointed that I couldn't purchase a t-shirt like the ones the staff wear, as they weren't available during my visit.

The breakfast buffet had a decent selection, but I think it could benefit from a few more vegetarian options. The banana bread stood out to me, and I enjoyed the fried egg over toasted raisin bread.

My stay at The Funny Lion was very nice overall; the staff were truly friendly and went above and beyond to cater to our needs. The midday snacks brought to my room were a good touch. However, I think they could enhance the breakfast variety a bit more for guests looking for lighter options.
