SO happy!!

We LOVE our hydrotherapy hot tub!!! Amazing quality; we're already seeing the health benefits. Dave in Tolleson, was very helpful, especially through some hiccups we experienced. The outcome was highly favorable, and we are so grateful!

Best decision ever!
PostedOctober 26, 2024
Loving our Marino hot tub! Using it at least twice a day!
The jets are perfectly placed to help ease the tension after a long day.
So far maintaining it has been a breeze.

Great except for some quality issues
PostedAugust 16, 2024
The original one delivered had multiple structural issues under the tub. The dealer had a 2nd that had a minor issue with the threaded insert on the front panel.

Bought during COVID, has had 3 leaks so far
PostedJuly 27, 2024
Waited for our spa to be built during the Covid lockdowns. Since receiving the spa we have had 3 major fitting failures and had multiple repairs done to our spa. All of these leaks and fractured fitting have been at factory placed seams, seals or welds.

Caldera hot tub
PostedDecember 8, 2023
We purchased the Marino model and it has been a pleasure.
It works as promised. The self cleaning function is a dream.
We comfortably sit 6 adults in the tub
My only complaint is that it doesn’t have cup holders to put your cocktails on .
The installation was also great. They delivered it on the day promised

The ahhhhh spa!
PostedJuly 21, 2023
We just completed a deck remodel with the addition of our Caldera Spa and I just have to say, ahhhhhh! Plenty of room and seating options, jet location and strength, complete with a kid and grandkid favorite, water feature (ok, this grandma likes it too!) Love our local dealer & service in Sunriver, Oregon - Water Works who recommended this particular spa.

30 days in to ownership
PostedJuly 4, 2023
With the first thirty days in we have enjoyed our new hot tub. We live in Arizona so we have not turned the heat on yet and the water has run from 85 to 101. we have enjoyed it very much. I did find that the Frog @ Ease system is easy to use but I also find that the cartridges don't last as long as they say they will and I find myself adding chlorine and Frog @ Ease non chlorine "Maintain" to try and balance things out. Checking chemical levels with test strips is like a guess at where levels are at but it may take a little more time getting use to the color system. So far we have had zero trouble with our spa and just based on the first thirty days I would recommend this hot tub. It is a happy place that "Here You Leave Today And Enter The World Of Yesterday, Tomorrow And Fantasy" If you are looking for a hot tub/spa I would recommend you check out the caldera brand. They have many sizes, shapes and colors so you can pick out the one that's the right size and budget for you.

Ahhhhhh
PostedJune 22, 2023
We absolutely love our Marino hot tub. We have gotten two different hot tubs from friends which worked and everything but this spa is above and beyond comfortable. We are enjoying it every night and it's easy to take care of. The Jets are so wonderful you can adjust them to what strength you want or off at certain points. The spa cover is of great quality and we got the assisted lift for the cover which helps tremendously. Affordable spas in Redding took very good care of us and explained all the spas to us for us to make a better choice.

Great spa... but...
PostedMay 29, 2023
i love my spa... but, it seems to me that there should be some kind of "step" to exit the tub... other than that minor detail... it's perfect for me... for an older person... getting in is not that difficult... but getting out... is an adventure...

Love the hottub!
PostedMay 9, 2023
This 6 person hot tub is comfortable I love the jets and the colors are beautiful at night along with the waterfall! It’s very relaxing. I’m glad we purchased it! From other reviews it will not raise your light bill astronomically ☺️. We went solar anyways.

Caldera - take me away!
PostedApril 7, 2023
I suffer from some auto immune issues and find my body sore much of the time. The best remedy I can find is sitting back in the lounger of my hot tub and relax. It never fails that I climb out feeling much better than when I crawled in. Best decision ever!

Living in Luxury!
PostedFebruary 1, 2023
Gonna be honest, I was feeling a tinge of buyer's remorse after deciding to go with a Caldera. It's an investment, but a worthwhile one at this. It's transformed our evening ritual, and each soak helps us relax and sleep better. Looking forward to many years of enjoyment!

What a waste
PostedJanuary 13, 2023
We bought a spa from your company in the year of 2020 our first spa arrived to us with a major defect they came out and replaced it with another one. Approximately 1 January we noticed us losing water from our hot tub. They called the spa company in which we bought our hot tub from they sent out a service person and seen it we had a leak. The leak has now resulted in corrosion to the pump. We asked for the pump to be replaced they denied it and said it was nothing wrong with our pump. They told us it may look bad but it still works. Our contract with this company runs out in February, I hope to God that pump does not quit on us and then we had to put out more money. Very unhappy with the decision that they had made.
