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.
