We have had our Marino for 1.5 years and still using it multiple times a week. It provides a great break in the day to relax and refocus. It has been very reliable with no mechanical or cosmetic issues. The water stays clean even if we get lazy and slip past the 3-month refill timeframe. The jets work well, it never foams on us and we each have our favorite seat. Our only suggestion is that it would be nice to have a place to put drinks, a speaker, etc. Otherwise, we've been thoroughly happy.

The hot tub itself is decent. The waterfall light blew out about 1 year after purchase. Not on my main electric so I can't properly rate the energy efficiency

I've had this spa for 3 months now. It is easy to use and water maintenance is pretty easy. It is better if you rinse off before entering your tub, to help keep water cleaner. Overall we have been very happy with the quality. We spent more than we originally wanted to, but I think in the long run we will be happy.

Overall we’re very happy with our first time ever purchase of any pool/spa. I’m 5’3 120lbs so the lounger is a bit much for me even after adjusting the air pressure ect- my son and husband find it very comfortable I have found one spot in the spa I’m comfortable in and works out well... everyone in our family enjoys it
Super easy to maintain! I’m confident we’ll always have a pool/ spa for the rest of our lives.

We bought a floor model caldera that was being advertized at Costco. We got a pretty good deal on the floor model, which was actually bought from International Hot Tub company. This tub replaced a Marquis spa at our mountain home, which get's a pretty high load. Our Marquis spa lasted 15+ years, but did require quite a bit of maintanence and the last few years all the major components replaced. However, for the load it saw, it lasted a long time. We are hopeful this Caldera will last as long.
The things we like about the caldera are the more shallow seating, meaning more seats are not as deeply set in the tub, so you can sit with more body out of the water, it just gets too hot when your up to your neck. We also like the jet system and power and lighting. We have the soundsystem and waterfall, but rarely use either, would not have paid for them. The plastic step that came with it are too light and flimsy, I had to screw them down to the deck to keep them in place while getting in or out. This will be a problem next winter when I need to move them for snow removal.
So far, the tub quality seems good, both inside and out. So far we like the assisted cover lift system, much easier for a single person to lift and lower it. I think the heating costs are about the same as Marquis.
Overall, we are happy with this purchase.

The hot tub is very nice and is very comfortable,the chemicals for the hot tub are very expensive.
By Customer Service Caldera Vanessa, October 30, 2017
Thank you for your review. I am happy to hear that you are enjoying your spa. Your spa has a couple of options for water care maintenance. You can use the Frog system or manually dose the spa. Your dealer will be able to help you with pricing and availability.
Happy Hot Tubbing!

So far love this Hot Tub!! Only have had it for a week but enjoying every minute of it. Only negative is the filter cuts off room for the lounger. No problem for short people but tall people may feel a bit cramped.
By Customer Service Caldera Vanessa, September 11, 2017
Hello Great choice.
Congratulations on your new spa!
Spa size is important. We manufacture many models with different seating configurations and sizes. Finding the right one for you might mean wet testing the spa or sitting in it dry. I am glad to know that you are enjoying your Hot Tub.
Thank you for taking the time to post your review.

I was looking for a hot tube for a long time. I have a frog chlorine system for my pool and when I found that it can be installed on a hot tub, I began looking. I found the Marino at Costco. I worked with a local company and purchased it through them. I love the hot tub but ran into a slight problem. One of the jet rings popped off immediately and would not go back on. The sales company sent me a new part immediately. Overall I think it is a great hot tub.

We've only had our spa for 2 weeks. It is a little hard to get into, but we love it.
By Customer Service Caldera Vanessa, August 22, 2017
Welcome to the Caldera Spa family!
The Marino is a great spa I know you're going to love it. Adding a spa rail will help you get in and out of the spa. The rail rotates to help you get in or out of the spa. Your local dealer who sold you your spa can also help with the rail.
Thank you for your review.

The spa and the dealer are top notch. The frog chemical system makes it easy to care for and the Bluetooth brings it all together. Make sure you follow the initial setup instructions and you will be fine. I usually check the levels daily but weekly is probably fine.
Enjoy

I know this is a little picky because I truly love and enjoy my spa daily but...
Why can't they build it to fully drain when it's time to replace the water? I have to drag out the wet vac to finish it off which isn't too hard but seems unnecessary
That's the only negative- otherwise excellent!

After a little trouble learning how to properly maintain our Hot Tub we now enjoy it every night!!!
Our only wish is that we bought it from a different dealer. Not at all happy with the information and/or customer service received from the company we purchased the spa from. Very very happy with the service & help from a local company.

We have really enjoyed our new spa. It is our first time to own a spa so we are trying to get the most from it. The one thing that was a little disheartening was the high speed pump had to be replaced upon delivery. Other than that we have had smooth sailing.
