First the good . I am elite on yelp and on Google my reviews effect business in a positive plus way. 100% truthful reviews. The therapy and design are 100% excellent in the Cantabria. Like have a team of therapists working on you in the comfort of the spa. Yes I would recommend this model 100%. My experience is the factory checking before shipping is severely lacking. . The first tub the color was nothing like any of the pictures and that should have been told to me. Nothing was ever mentioned. We exchanged it in the end and the 3 rd one was great. They right excellent customer service on all the pamphlets . Sadly I had to k ok my head against the wall to get any factory help. The repair company they sent was excellent as good as it gets. The wait time for parts and updates was abysmal from the caldera factory. After 2 1/2 yrs approx I finally have happiness after all the aggravation I didn’t need but always got through no fault of my own. Calls never answered shame on you who didn’t call back, no excuse. I am more than happy now after it was non working bad solenoid the first day I turned it on. The tub is fantastic when everything works. I am very happy to finally have peace but the factory never compensated me for all the aggravation they dragged me through and all the calls I had to make. Buy this tub you won’t find any better or none more helpful to your body, every part of your body. Very poorly run corporate customer service need 100% overhaul. It more customer diss service than customer service. Not one person from factory applied for the nightmare I lived through and I am disabled to boot. I’m glad I have this excellent tub for my health. They need to figure out why the white plastic bezels around the output keep coming off 3 out of 3 tubs. Talk is cheap, be the excellent customer service you say you are in all your ads. The truth will always be the truth. Would I buy this tub again. it’s fantastic for a broken body in total pain and great after exercise to lower the pain. Don’t let the terrible customer service sway you away from buying this model. The repair people are caring with excellent technician Dan and Trisha’s the best customer repair company agent in all of arizona. 100% positive everything with the repair company . Hands down the best of the best so not one worry with them. Hopefully only good things from now on and the things someone in corporate actually gives a when a customer is put in the middle of this mess trying to

In Caldera's embrace, a spa so divine,
Spacious haven for family, a treasure to find.
With jets that massage, a symphony of delight,
A retreat for the senses, every worry takes flight.
The waters, a canvas of soothing salt embrace,
Maintenance made easy, a system in grace.
For family gatherings or a personal retreat,
Caldera's Cantabria, an oasis so sweet.
The jets, like whispers of magic, a touch so profound,
A dance on the water, a relaxation unbound.
With each gentle pulse, tension fades away,
Leaving only joy, a moment to sway.
A decision well made, a purchase so wise,
Caldera's Cantabria, a cherished prize.
For family, for self, a haven to last,
In the soothing waters, memories cast.

This is our 2nd spa purchase, and it is the best! We love all of the bells and whistles - music and lights! We had never experienced the salt water system before and we are loving it. The lounge is our favorite spot. We would recommend this spa to anyone.

The Caldera Cantabria is the most comfortable got tub we've ever been in. The seats are ergonomically excellent, the jet selection is broad and very powerful. Overall we're very pleased. Only reason for 4 stars on quality is some of the exterior panels dont fit tight. I'm sure energy efficiency isn't superb, but we didn't buy it for that. And finally, at $20k for a hot tub, it is a considerable investment, but one of the best we've found.

We finally bought the Cantabria. When I found out we could do do saltwater I didn’t hesitate, bought it on the spot. So easy to start up and maintain. We use it almost every night. It’s been wonderful for my arthritis. Love it!!

An amazing adventure and experience,And of course we had to get the biggest one. It’s absolutely amazing spa. The one negative would be that the lighting is too high on the top, and they blind you. Husband and I feel that light system should be a little lower into the water to load up the tub rather than hit you in the eyes. Other than that we really enjoy it and it’s very powerful and therapeutic

The tub is fantastic, probably the best I ever have experienced. But my first electric bill was a real shocker. In 40-50 degree temps at 99 degrees used for 3 hours per week, this is running me about $250 a month just for electricity on top of my usual bill. Know what you’re signing up for.

We are enjoying our Cantabria very much. It is a real joy. Relaxing and refreshing. Pure luxury. We feel like royalty. We got all the bells and whistles. Bluetooth, avante steps and handrail. Freshwater salt system is the best. Very easy to maintain. Highly recommend going with all above. Water is so clean and natural. Everything is true what they say online and in catalog. Prolift Cover 3 is very easy to operate and also maintain.
We check our water daily in 5 mins. Once a week, I wipe down shell with microcloth. Then do my weekly maintenance. Add spa shock oxidizer and water clarifier. We are thrilled with our purchase.
My advice is go with the largest spa you can. We stretch out in this as we would in a pool.

The Cantabria is a big tub. It fits those 9 adults comfortably and has great jetting from neck to feet. Given the size, it takes some energy to jest up but it holds steady and is insulated well enough to not break the bank in electric. There is a large variety of seating to cover whatever therapy you want. The chemical maintenance is quite easy and the salt system works well to keep the chlorine up. The fountains give it a nice touch. With all three jets on high, it is quite a wonderful turbulent pool. The hydromassuese system gives that lounge seat the personal control touch. I look forward to using and enjoying it for many years to come.

I have had this tub since January 2022 and thing that come to mind with this tub is comfortable, easy use, and my utopia. We use this amazing tub daily and with friends on the weekend so gets it share use. There is no favorite seat as there are many great ones. My girl likes the captain seats the best and I like the circuit therapy but do sit in the lounger, captain, or cool off seat the most. It really is a hot tub time machine as we spend anywhere from 20 minutes to 1-2 hours in it at a time. Maintenance is easy and takes around hour per week. Shout out to IHT in Denver for great service through this process of purchasing and setting it up during Covid.

We have thoroughly enjoyed our Cantabria spa since it was installed last fall. I gave it three starts for quality only because we have had two service calls to fix a seemingly simple hose that has come off twice causing the hot tub to leak. Due to our location out of the 50 mile radius from the dealer, we have spent almost $300 in trip charges for the same problem.

Go big or go home! If you have the space the 8 seater is the way to go. To start I considered this a 1 time buy, therfore the investment was worth it. I'm a former college athlete and now at 39 I value exercise, but moreso recovery and a good night's sleep! I wanted a lounger tub, but always wished for another person to be able to lounge next to me vs. Being forced to sit in a corner. A unique detail to some, but huge for me. This tub is simply the best there is to offer. Tech, 3 pumps, saltwater. I live by the "if you don't make time to invest in your health, you'll be forced to make time for your sickness," mantra. After a large workout session or before bed, or relaxing nights with the kids. I have luxury to spare.
A must have is a lift cover and the only fault I've seen is that sometimes 1 or 2 jet covers fly off.

The Cantabria is our second spa and there is no comparison between the two. The Caldera is so well built and efficient. The salt system is so easy to maintain, once you get the water balanced there is virtually no water maintenance. We also don't notice and unpleasant odors from the water like other spas we have used. It's just awesome!!
