Best investment Ive made in years!
PostedAugust 9, 2016
I love my Caldera hot tub. Being a sufferer of arthritis and dealing with daily pain, my hot tub is my "go to". It provides relief I have been unable to find with doctors, medicine and traditional practices.

Better than my hot springs
PostedAugust 9, 2016
The Martinique was a replacement for a hot springs tub we had. We did not know how wonderful this tub was in comparison to the hot springs. The seating works for my wife and I even though she is about 10 inches shorter, that was not the case in the previous tub. The ease of water care is a great factor. We never realized the old tub was causing sinus problems due to the chemicals. No issues like that in the Martinique. Best part for us was the low pressure sales staff.

My Spa
PostedAugust 9, 2016
The Martinique is a beautiful Spa that is comfortable once you have entered the Spa. Entry and exit is somewhat precarious as their is no totally flat area to accommodate a safe entry/exit. Jets are plentiful, well positioned and work well with only one area that could use improvement. The area where the legs are positioned when seated in the lounge has sharp edges in the center of the jet openings which caused a guest knee to be cut when they were trying to exit the spa. The small stationary jets have sharp plastic tubes that scraped the skin right off of my guests knee. The exposed edge of these jet tubes need to be rounded off to avoid such an injury.

Decent spa design with poor customer service
PostedAugust 8, 2016
The design is good and ownership should be a pleasant experience. Unfortunately, dealer service is terrible and problems are unsupported by Watkins Manufacturing. Our Martinique failed to hold water after 10 months of service because of a bad valve. Watkins refused to pay to have the unit craned out and back, a $1,200 expense, plus electrical wiring costs. It was at the dealer for over 2 months and was returned filthy. They did pay for the replacement part and installation, which was an upgraded value design, suggesting they knew there was a problem. Now the local dealer is no longer a representative and there is no authorized service. Just short of two years in service, the coatings on the headrests began to disintegrate. Customer service suggested I get replacements from a spa parts supplier, as they do not deal with the public. Buyer beware.

Therapy

We have our Spa over a year now and we are totally happy with our investment. Our Spa has helped us with our aches and pains. I have saved so much by doing our own therapy at home. It has also enriched our family time. We are very happy with our purchase.

Good value
PostedAugust 8, 2016
Overall satisfied. There is a learning curve for keeping the water clear and balanced. Be sure to have a good pool store available for testing and advice. A spa cover with a lift is a must. We actually use it quite a lot during the summer.

I have never made such better decision, than to purchase a Martinique Caldera Spa; we are in it year around. Relaxing, and beneficial to the body after a hard days work. We always look forward to the evenings in our Hot tub.

So Relaxing
PostedJuly 19, 2016
We love to relax in our spa and it is easy to use and does not take up a lot of space. I liked it since it has a lounge in it. However, since I am petite, I wish it had a seat belt as I float to the top instead of staying on the seat. I also did not realize how expensive the chemicals are to maintain the spa.

Bluetooth Speakers
PostedJuly 12, 2016
The only thing wrong with this spa is that the bluetooth speakers that are installed INSIDE the tub get muffled when there are more than 2 people in the tub and the water level rises. My suggestion would be to put speakers up higher or on top of the edges of the tub instead of inside.
By Customer Service Caldera Vanessa, July 15, 2016
Thank you for your review. I am sorry to hear that you are not happy with the spa speakers. I am sure we can come up with an option that might improve your spa experience. I will email you my contact info. I look forward in working with you directly.

Love our Martinique
PostedJuly 12, 2016
We'e had our Martinique for a year now, and I can't say enough good things about it. Compared to our previous tub from a different manufacturer, this one is so much more advanced and easier to maintain. We got the optional subwoofer and audio system, which makes the entire tubbing experience that much more enjoyable.
Our Martiniqye comfortably accommodates four people, although the bulk of the time it's just my wife and me in it. Each seat offers a different therapeutic experience. Not only does the tub offer great relaxation but it also provides therapeutic value for life's everyday aches and pains. We live in Ohio and winter care for the tub is simple and straightforward.
The fiber optic lighting system and waterfall are added amenities.
If you are looking for value and quality in a hot tub, I'd recommend you look no further than the Caldera Martinique. You'll be glad you did!

What a deal for the price: this spa has the fountain, multiple jet speeds and configurations, colorful lighting and great seating. Still so glad we got it after a full year.
