Pros:

.Mi estancia hubiese sido buena si es que no me hubieran hecho cobros que después fue muy difícil que devolvieran.
Al ingresar me cobraron un depósito de 200 dólares y cuando me fui dejando todo en perfecto estado, incluso limpio, me me dijeron que tenían un problema maquina y que por eso no podían hacer devolucion y que lo harían en la tarde.. les volví a escribir por días y cada día decían que lo harían y no recibía mi devolución.
Luego llame a contacto cliente de Booking y cuando ellos llamaron , ese mismo día en la tarde la recibo.

También pedí la factura de la estancia que hasta hoy
17 de enero no he recibido. El 6 de enero me dijeron que ya se estaba gestionando pero nada aún

Cons:

Asegurarse siempre que hagan la devolución mientras estás en el hotel y que te den tu factura con el cobro de tu estancia.
Pasar por un estrés así cuando estás de vacaciones no es necesario.

Extremely Noisy & Hard to Find
Pros:

If you’re looking for a peaceful stay in Tulum, Caiman Habitat is absolutely not the place. The noise levels here are unbearable. Bagatelle, right across the street, blasts music all evening, and the nightclub Bonbonniere keeps the party going until 4 a.m.—good luck trying to get any sleep. Even with earplugs, the bass is relentless.

Beyond the noise, the hotel is very difficult to find. There is no visible signage from the main road—the only sign is tucked away between two retail buildings. If you’re trying to locate it, look for the sushi restaurant Oishi, which is near the entrance. The parking gate is unmarked, and once you find it, you have to manually open and close it yourself.

The WiFi is essentially unusable—I never got more than 5 Mbps at any point, making even basic browsing frustrating. If you need reliable internet for work or streaming, don’t count on it here.

Additionally, upon check in I was I charged an additional night with no acknowledgment. Upon noticing this the next day, it took several conversations to get a refund provided to me. The hot water stopped working intermittently, but was otherwise. The bed was very comfortable and the back out curtains were essential.

Overall, unless you’re planning to party all night and don’t care about sleep, I’d strongly recommend staying elsewhere.

Passable
Pros:

I recently stayed at Caimán Habitat, and while the rooms were as pictured, clean, comfortable, and nicely designed (though the pillows could use an upgrade), the overall experience was disappointing.
Overall, this place might be fine if you're okay with a self-service, Airbnb-like setup, but I expected more since it’s advertised as a “luxury” hotel on their website. Better service and proper security would make a big difference. For now, I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone looking for a true hotel experience.

Cons:

The biggest issue was the lack of service and staff. When we arrived, there was no one from the hotel to greet us. Instead, someone from the restaurant next door handed us the key and showed us to our room. When we asked him a few questions, he mentioned he didn’t work for the hotel and was just helping out as a favor.
There was also no security. One day, I noticed a group of people in the cenote located on the property, and one of them approached me to ask where the bathroom was. When I asked if they were staying at the hotel, he said no.

Pros:

Loved the area and the staff were very accommodating. Some surrounding buildings are still under construction, but Caimán Hábitat is going to be even better very soon. My stay was great and they were attentive on WhatsApp. I highly recommend this place. Sushi restaurant on-site is top notch too. Close to the beach and other restaurants. We ate at Holy Deer every morning here.
