Not too happy
PostedJuly 13, 2015
I had a Caldera Spa for 20 years and had a great experience before this spa. So I wanted to replace it with a Caldera Spa. This new spa is not as good. The spa does not clean itself well, the ozoneator never seemed to do it's job and it requires chemicals all the time Either the water or the cover has an odder that is not pleasant or inviting. Overall the quality is not anywhere near what I expected.

Love my Palatino!
PostedJuly 13, 2015
Best purchase we ever made, nice to enjoy in the wintertime to sooth and warm your muscles....and also enjoy in the summertime. let it cool down and big enough to lay on a float for sunning.

Great SPA
PostedJuly 6, 2015
Installed in RI in January and used it all winter! Absolutely fantastic during one of the snowiest winters we have seen in a very long time. Self installed, very easy. Better than expected on chemicals and minerals. Very deep, comfortable seats and large variety of jets. Will buy another for second home.
Response from Caldera SpasBy VanessaCustomer ServiceJuly 14, 2015
Thank you for the great review. Using your spa on a beautiful winters day sounds awesome. Happy to hear your are enjoying your spa and that you will continue to be a Caldera own for your second home.

We wish you many years of Happy Hot Tubbing!

Our Caldera, Palatino Spa is the third spa we have owned in our 30-years of marriage. The first two were NOT Caldera, but if we buy a fourth spa, it will definitely be a Caldera! It is an excellent quality, easy to maintain, beautiful spa and we LOVE it!!!
Response from Caldera SpasBy Jaclyn Customer ServiceJune 24, 2015

Tampa Bay Hot Tubs is the Best
PostedMay 24, 2015
First of all I dealt with Tampa Bay Hot Tubs and Jerry was the best. Throughout the entire process of research, purchase and delivery, he walked us through step by step. Delivery was on time and very professional. The area we were putting the hot tub was a screened enclosure. Jerry and his team found out it was easier not to go through the door so they removed a section of the screen and replaced it perfectly with no extra cost. We previously had a Thermospa but it was frustrating trying to get knowledgeable technicians to work on it as it got older. Jerry explained the ease of the Caldera automatic chemical distribution process and the spas is so easy to keep clean and fresh. We have had the spa about 6 months now and love it more each day. Thank you Jerry !!!
Response from Caldera SpasBy VanessaCustomer ServiceJune 9, 2015
Wow! Fantastic review. I am excited that you have had an amazing experience and it sounds like Jerry took great care of you. Thank you for taking the time to share I couldn't be more pleased. We wish you many years of Hot Tub enjoyment.

Very happy
PostedSeptember 10, 2014
We are very happy with our Palatino. Operates very well and is easy to maintain once you get the chemical frequency/quantities figured out. Things that would improve this model include; better design to accommodate drinks/cups and maybe adding arm rests with jets in one of the corner seats which my wife misses from a previous tub we owned.
Response from Caldera SpasBy BenCustomer ServiceSeptember 17, 2014
Hello Very happy Palatino owner! Thanks for the feedback, we are always looking for ways to improve our spa products! I will make sure your suggestions are shared with our Caldera team. Happy tubbing!

Excellent Spa!!!
PostedSeptember 8, 2014
We have owned our spa for 8 months. Our family of 5 loves it! The maintenance of the water care is easy even our children can help with it. We have followed all of the instructions for caring for the cover, waxing the interior of the spa when we recently refilled it with fresh water, and chemical use. I would recommend this spa to anyone.
Response from Caldera SpasBy Peggy W. Customer ServiceSeptember 10, 2014
Thanks for the great review of the Palatino spa! I can't wait for you to experience the fun of Fall and Winter spa time. It's a great place to regroup and relax while everyone else is out and about in the snow and cold! Happy hot tubbing!

New Spa Owner
PostedSeptember 7, 2014
We were new to owning a spa two years ago. This was a great first time purchase. The spa is comfortable, stays clean, and one you learn the chemicals, easy to maintain. The spa uses much more electricity than we were told. Changing the water could be made easier and put in a pump rather than gravity feed. The access door is temperamental and the screws don't always work right. Connecting the power was fussy and could be engineered better. We have had NO leaks or equipment failures at all. The only thing we had to replace was the screws for the headrests as some of them rusted. Once replaced there have been zero problems. We worked with the factory who was great: our dealer gave us hassles. I would buy another Caldera in a heartbeat and they would be my baseline comparison if I look at other models.

Changed our Lifestyle
PostedSeptember 5, 2014
We chose to purchase our hot tub versus a pool. It was honestly one of the best choices that my wife and I have made. We have found that our lives have changed to include more relaxation time because of the hot tub.
In fact, we recently moved and the hot tub came with us. I would strongly encourage a Caldera Spa because of the price, functionality, and ease of use.

Powerful jets
PostedSeptember 5, 2014
Our favorite feature of our Palatino is the well-placed, powerful jets. They soothe our account muscles and keep us feeling good. There is plenty of room too. The down sides are the water has been tricky to keep balanced, but we do have extremely hard well water. We have also had problems with head rests wearing out. But over all we are very happy with it.

Relax and enjoy and enjoy and enjoy...
PostedSeptember 4, 2014
Get away from computer, cell phone and everything else that is sucking the energy out of you. Just you and mother nature and a hot tub massage...especially on a moonlit night...bravo!
Bonus 1: Quality time with your teenage kids. Yes they can talk without texting and happily share their thoughts and dreams.
Bonus 2: Hot tub snow angels. WhooHooo! Way more challenging than an ice bucket. You can't feel more alive than after a hot tub / snow angel / hot tub.
