AHH so Relaxing!
PostedSeptember 4, 2014
Great massaging action, minimal care with Frog System.
Having problem with vinyl outer panels cracking. Currently waiting for them to be replaced. Had a problem with one of the jets blowing out, it resolved itself after one replacement didn't work. The bottom is a little tricky when you get in because of the configuration. But, use to it now. Over all it is a great tub.

Makena is a great spa!
PostedSeptember 4, 2014
I have now owned 3 spas in my lifetime. 2 of them were purchased brand new, and the third came with a house I purchased. The Makena we own now is definitely the most comfortable and feature rich spa I have ever been in. We purchased the entertainment package with it, and I have the sound system connected via bluetooth to our patio TV. We really enjoy turning the jets on low and watching TV from the spa!
I did rate the quality as a 4 only because some of the decorative covers on the small jets continually come off. They are simply too easy to turn accidentally which causes them to unlock and come loose.
I also rated the energy efficiency a 4 because I can't honestly tell you if it is any better or worse than the Hot Springs spa we just got rid of so I don't want to mislead anyone.
Overall we are extremely pleased with the Makena and I do not regret the purchase for a single minute.

Great review and great news about those pesky covers on the jets. Contact your dealer to get replacements as we figured out why some were not staying put...hopefully that will bring your quality rating back up to a 5! And I think, with time, you will discover that the Makena is a highly energy efficient spa and can stand up to any Hot Spring in the bunch! Happy Hot Tubbing!

caldera spa
PostedSeptember 4, 2014
great spa, my family enjoys especially after being out on the lake.
have difficulty getting service from my vendor, tradewinds spa in utica, michigan though.
fortunately, the spa doesnt require much vendor service.

Love our Caldera Salina Spa
PostedSeptember 4, 2014
We love and use our spa regularly- it's great. Love the relaxing setting, the heat, and just laying back and enjoying the stars! I had a couple of fears: Cost of running the spa - my dealer said it would cost around $18/month. I've had our 7 person Salina for six months and and my 2014 bills are lower than I paid in 2013! We live in the moutains where snow is on the patio from November to April. Water care was the other concern - with the automatic FROG system I hardly add any extra chemicals. It's great.

You've painted a beautiful picture of relaxation under the stars. And you have discovered what thousands of spa owners know/...that a Caldera spa is the way to have your own private retreat without high energy bills or frequent water maintenance needs. Happy Hot Tubbing!

In love with our spa!
PostedSeptember 4, 2014
We have owned our spa for only 3 months, but it has made such a positive impact on my physical and mental well-being! And I sleep so well at night after a soak...
Friends and family are hooked, too!
Wish I had purchased one years ago.

A wonderful Makena review! You've discovered what thousands of Caldera spa owners know....a hot tub at home becomes more than a plaything. It provides the relaxation, rejuvenation and restful sleep that will get you through a hectic week with a bounce in your step. Happy Hot Tubbing!

Great purchase
PostedSeptember 4, 2014
We have really enjoyed the spa. The only problem we've had is trying to keep the bromine level right. The spa is very comfortable and the jets really work the muscles and make them feel good and relaxed!

The best hottub I have tried
PostedApril 22, 2013
Being a European spa retailer, I have tried out many spas, from different producers. I can tell you that Makena is the best spa Caldera could make as a novelty. It is a great size, very comfortable, very spacious. Massage is strong and well adjustable, lights are beautiful, insulation is great. As a retailer I am very happy having this spa in the selection of Caldera Spas.
4 of 4 found this review helpful.
