My Makena hot tub was the best purchase I ever made! After multiple hip surgeries and back issues this has been the best therapy I have had.
This is not just a hot tub, it’s a total body experience. For aching muscles or just to relax this has been a great addition to my life. I highly recommend these spas to everyone! I am in mine every day. The maintenance is easy and very user friendly.
Response from Caldera SpasBy ChelseaCustomer ServiceAugust 13, 2018
The Makena model is a fantastic choice, and I am so glad to hear daily soaking has brought you some relief after your surgeries. It is amazing what soaking in hot water with focused jets can do for your body and mind! I hope you continue to enjoy your spa for many years to come.

Happy hot tubbing!

Like Vacation Everyday
PostedJuly 6, 2018
We needed a spa because my husband and I both have hip issues. We truly did not realize the impact a spa would have on soothing our muscles and joints and lower anxiety from feeling sore a lot!
When I get out of the spa I feel relaxed and I get better sleep. I'm glad we chose a spa with more jets. Every seat has something to offer. The waterfall sound and lights are soothing but a true luxury spa experience when you let it lightly dance on your neck or back. We never owned a spa. I did as much research as possible. My best advice is buy the spa for you and not the friends that may use it too.

So far so good, Hot tub was very easy to set-up. The controls are easy to use. Lots of jets and very comfortable, What else can I say, other than you get what you pay for. Excellent purchase.

Nice Therapy with good efficiency!
PostedMarch 31, 2018
Not a bad spot in the whole spa. All jets are powerfull. The lounger is a little undersized, would work well for a smaller sized person. I have to slouch a little to get it to fit properly and I am 5'8". Euphoria jet is nice on the feet. I would like it better with an intergrated Salt System.
By Customer Service Caldera VanessaApril 9, 2018
Thank you for your review.
We appreciate your feedback and comments. The Euphoria jet is a fantastic massager.

Very happy with our 1st spa.
PostedNovember 27, 2017
Picking out the perfect spa is very hard. There are way too many options to pick from. With the help of our sales rep (Amanda), she was able to narrow down what we were looking for in a spa. What we picked was and excellent choice for our family of four. We are all very comfortable in all the different seating arrangements offered. Still getting use to how to take care of the water and cleaning the filter, but I'm sure that will get easier as time goes on. Happy we picked the Makena!

Have enjoyed the spa since it was installed a couple of weeks ago. Easy to understand settings. Our sales person was very helpful and informative on all aspects. Helps with arthritis and grandchildren love using it after soccer. The set up was very quick and the men explained main aspects of using it. Love it and would highly recommend it!

The tub is great the care and start up could not be easier. The jets systems work away the days frustrations, stresses and some of the day's poor choices. Controls are very intuitive and convenient I especially like the memory feature press a single button and everything comes back on the way I left it.

We had a hot tub a number of years ago, but advancements have really enhanced the hot tub experience. Our Makena looks beautiful sitting out there on the deck and it is just a delight to be in. My husband has back issues and he heads right for the tub at the slightest twinge!! For health and relaxation, this can't be beat. Thanks to your representatives in New Castle, DE for ensuring that the installation was accomplished without a hitch and our every question was answered. We have no doubt they will be there to help, whenever we need it. This is an excellent product which will give us years of enjoyment..

Love our Makena!
PostedJune 4, 2017
Bought our Makena Spa from Kevin at the Spa and Sauna Co. of Reno for my husband's surprise 65th birthday last week. He was totally surprised and we absolutely love it. What a fantastic way to totally relax after a busy day, especially when you're on your feet all day long! Excited to have our daughter and family over this afternoon so they too can enjoy it with us.
Definitely recommend this spa!

Awesome spa!
PostedApril 23, 2017
Purchased this Caldera spa four weeks ago. Wow it's awesome! The body color matches my house. The jets are very well positioned. Ease of use, ( the screen is easy to read) and unlike my old tub I'm not having to switch multiple poorly lit buttons. Really enjoying this tub.

I was skeptical with the purchase of our spa! However, it was the best decision. I absolutely LOVE every minute spent in it. I find that I sleep better and feel better overall. Very relaxing. And it is relatively easy to maintain!

Makena Heaven
PostedAugust 26, 2016
Waited a long time before buying a spa and finally went shopping. We ran across a small little spa dealer in Costa Mesa called OC Spas and Hot Tubs. Ryan and Les spent countless hours educating and showing us all the features that the Caldera spas have. We checked out other spa brands and dealers with wet tests and questions. The spas that stood out and with the amazing service we went with Ryan at OC. The Makena with the Ephoria jet, comfort, and size was the perfect spa for our family of four. We are now a proud family member of Caldera and OC Spas and Hot Tubs. One regret is we should have bought one a long time ago.

First spa
PostedAugust 19, 2016
Due to the weather, haven't been able to use it as frequently as would like. I go to a gym 4-5 days a week, and this spa has definitely helped with the sore muscles. Still learning water care, so hopefully that becomes easier. Overall, I am sure we will get optimal use out of it, when the weather cools down.
