We have owned our spa for over 2 years. We love the room and comfort of this spa. We had a few problems but has been very good to us and it relaxes your body nicely.

Great spa!
PostedSeptember 5, 2014
We purchased the Geneva in November 2012 and have been using it regularly ever since! It certainly makes cold winter nights more enjoyable. The spa is easy to maintain and still looks brand new! The seats are very comfortable for adults but if you have very small children they will be limited in the seats they can use. They are fine in most spots but there are a couple of seats that are too deep for kids. The spa is built well and the shell continues to look like new. We are very happy with our Geneva!

An Aaaaah.....moment
PostedSeptember 5, 2014
We have had our spa about three months now and purchased it for my husband who has joint problems . So far it seems to be helping some with his mobility. Every time I get in to the warm water I keep saying Aaaah....It feels so good like I have my own personal masseuse. Each station is different so I can't say I have a favorite. They're all great.

outstanding investment
PostedSeptember 5, 2014
This thing is great, the only improvement I would make is to the flow control and air valves. The sutup of some of the valves locations are kind of odd and out of reach from the area where the valves control.

Surprised
PostedSeptember 5, 2014
I mostly bought this spa for my wife, but I think I have used it much more than her so far. I am surprised at how much it relaxes me in the evening and improves my sleep quality. I thought it was going to be complicated to care for when initially balancing the water, but after that first step, it has been quite easy. Highly recommend!
Response from Caldera SpasBy Peggy W. , Customer Service, September 10, 2014
Thanks for a great review of the Geneva model spa. You're right! it provides a great hot water experience that is easy to maintain and ready when you are. Enjoy!

Great tub
PostedSeptember 4, 2014
I replaced an old tub with this one. The construction, design, heating,,, well, just everything was far better than my old one. The nicest thing is the recirculating pump and how quiet it is.This tub sits right outside our bedroom window, and sometimes I have to double check to make sure it is actually running.

Geneva is it!
PostedSeptember 4, 2014
Ever since i purchased my Caldera hot tub I have been very impressed with every aspect.I use the frog system and find it easy to keep my water quality. I USE MY Geneva tub at least 4 times a week and in the Michigan winter more ! I could not be more satisfied, this is my third tub and certainly the best.

Very Displeased
PostedJune 12, 2014
I purchased a Utopia Geneva from Sweetwater Hot Tubz here in San Antonio, TX less then thirteen days ago. At this point my wife and I are very displeased with the Watkins Caldera Spa product and the lack of service support and concern for the problems we reported to Sweetwater Hot Tubz personal. During the sale and purchase period we were sold on the high quality of the Caldera spa and the great service we could expect from Sweetwater Hot Tubz. We are finding both the spa quality and service support are far below what was stated. Our spa was delivered on May 30 2014, the next day we found that the spa had tripped the circuit breaker. When I reported this to the sales person he showed little concern. The night of June 5th was the first time we used the spa. On June 8th I checked the spa and found a part in the bottom of the spa. In our single use of the spa we had also found that the control panel buttons stick. Monday June 9th I discovered addition jet parts in the bottom of the spa but also that the control panel was malfunctioning. The display of the control panel had scrolled down to where parts of menu items were not visible and the tub would not respond to some button presses, its function was erratic. When these things were reported to the same store person again he showed little concern for how we believed these to be serious issues. Now we are waiting for a service person to show up over three days latter to repair a spa we've had less then two weeks. The Watkins Caldera spa product is not showing to be a quality product and the Sweetwater Hot Tubz service and support is far below what has been stated.

Broke down in 6 years
PostedOctober 14, 2013
I purchased my Caldera Geneva in 2006 right after I bought my house. The hot tub stopped heating in the beginning of the summer of 2013. I ignored it during the summer months due to the fact that it maintained a temp of 85-87 degrees. I called the business that I bought it from and they told me that it is only a 5 year warranty. I am extremely frustrated that I have to pay out of pocket when it is barely a year out of warranty. I thought it would have lasted quite a bit longer.
I would not advise anyone to purchase a caldera spa.

Thank you for writing. I have confirmed that your spa has had 1 service call (2009) during your first 7yrs of use. It did have a 5yr component warranty that expired 2 yrs ago. The dealer tells me they're scheduled to service your spa next week. We appreciate your purchase and believe it will provide you many more years of uninterrupted use once the dealer has seen the spa next week.

liner issues and dealer not responsive
PostedSeptember 15, 2013
We love our Geneva spa and have enjoyed almost daily in the cooler months. We have three issues that keep this review from being excellent. 1. Dealer not responsive to calls and indeed will not return calls. After first year of operation, spa would not start up after draining and cleaning procedure. Took multiple trips and part replacement before they got it functional again. 2. Arm on lift broke shortly after that call. Dealer would not return call. We finally ordered the replacement arm and replaced it ourselves. 3. Drained tub today for semi annual water exchange and found quarter size patch of pearl finish flaking off liner in bottom corner near filter side. Why is finish flaking off? How quickly must this be repaired? No crack noticed just cosmetic finish. Also can you recommend another dealer in our area who can help. We are following manufacturers instructions exactly for control of water quality using Frog system. We live in Marion, Ma 02738 and would love to find a spa service repair who could help us with this. Spa is 2 years old.

PostedMay 8, 2013
I have had my Caldera Spa for about 7 years. The sound system whent out in the first 6 months of having the spa. The dealer then advised me that the sound system that came installed in the spa was not water tight and not covered with warrenty. After about 5 years the siding started falling off and now the heat pump has gone out. The spa we had before this lasted 12 years with no issues. Caldera was not worth the money I paid.

Just not comfortable for taller (5'11"+) people
PostedApril 12, 2013
I like the hot tub alot "BUT" the layout makes it not as comfortable for taller people. My 5'4" wife loves it and with good reason. I first got hooked with hot tubs due to my friend's tub being older design, simpler and more "park bench" style all the way around. This Caldera design, every seat is different and when you have just one seat that fits you, it becomes "assigned seating" which isn't fun when you feel you have to kick someone out of that seat to enjoy the tub. Other than that, performance, electric use, ease of maintenance, looks, durability, are excellent. It's our first full year with the tub and I am satisfied.. I'll just have to man up and throw people out of my spot. My recommendation, GET IN THE SHOW ROOM TUB and sit for 10 minutes in each tub. A simpler and less expensive tub in my opinion may be more comfortable.
Response from Caldera SpasBy The Caldera Hot Tub Team, Marketing, June 4, 2013
Thank you for your review. I am disappointed to read that you have trouble with the layout. A Caldera spa is designed for pure comfort, with each seat position focused on massaging one muscle group at a time. We encourage you to rotate seats to give each major muscle group attention. I will be sending your feedback to the product team. I appreciate your feedback, which will allow us to make enhancements to future spa models. Please let our team know if you need any assistance. I want you to enjoy your spa for many years to come!
