Spa Power Issues
We purchased a Martinique 17 months ago and have experienced recurring problems with the spa failing to restart after we change the water. The electronic control unit was replaced due to visible water condensation under the screen. We thought this would clear up the problems with the spa failing to restart after we changed the water. While we do not see any condensation in the control unit we experienced a failure to restart after a water change. The spa did restart and ran for a few minutes and then automatically shut off due to an electrical issue. We were able to restart the spa but it shut off again and we can't get it to restart. The GCFI circuit will not stay on.
This issue only occurs after a water change. The unit has had this problem since it was installed. We have always tuned the power off at the circuit switch when we change the water. In the past it has taken several restarts to get it up and running but this time it has failed completely to restart.
When it is working we love our spa. Strong jets and it is very easy to control the strength of the massage jets.
Another issue we have concerns the spa cover Lift n' Glide frame. It is the std unit that is installed by the dealer and one side of the unit has 6 attachment screws the secure the frame to the tub. 5 of the 6 screws do not anchor into anything other than the exterior panels. There is only one screw that appears to be anchored into the frame. The other 5 screws constantly work their way loose and they do not hold the frame onto the tub. This is another upcoming point of failure with his unit. There apparently is nothing behind the exterior panels to secure the Lift n' Glide cover unit to.

My Spa
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.

Nice Tub, but...
Like everything about it except half of the rotating jets stopped spinning after only 6 weeks. I use a test strip every day and water quality never wavered. I soaked them overnight in vinegar anyway - but that made no difference. Disappointing after spending over $8K!

Decent spa design with poor customer service
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.

Too many issues after only 1.5 years
I enjoy my spa and do more then the necessary maintenance on it, yet of late there's been far too many issues. After only 6 months I had to replace the back panel due to a crack. Last winter the spa wasn't keeping its temperature. Just 1 month ago, the front panel had a crack and the part is on order. Now, while I'm waiting for a front panel replacement, 2 of the 4 speakers are no longer working. The panels are under warranty but the warranty on the speakers was for 1 year only, therefore it will cost me to fix them.
I've referred about 5 friends since buying the spa yet based on my recent experiences, I think I will no longer.

Lemon of a hot tub
We purchased our Martinique in September 2016. We picked colors and options and were excited for the addition for winter fun. The tub was installed in November 2016. After a few uneventful months our swanky 10k plus investment has turned into a stressful pain. Breakers mysteriously trip, both the 30 amp and/or the 20 amp. Only to come back and find a water temp in the 70’s. And jet rings randomly pop off, which in an older tub would be much more acceptable. The tub is not even a year old. I have spent countless hours driving back and forth to troubleshoot or wait on the non-arriving techs, who admit they don’t know why this is happening. At this point my frustration level is just about 104.

2015 Martinique
I researched getting a hot tub for 2 years before making my purchase. I felt like I was making a great choice with the Martinique. Unfortunately I have had nothing but problems with the tub. I have owned it for 2 months and it has had to be drained twice already. There are white particles in the tub that no one seems to be able to help with. I started with problems with the water. They told me I needed a restrictor added so they drained it, flushed it and added it. Then the issue with the particles has taken over. We cannot even use this tub. The particles get all over everything! I am very disappointed. I really wanted to love this hot tub! Any suggestions would be appreciated!

Problems, problems, problems
White specks in water company bought from says it's a chemical manufacturer used to clean pipes = defect
Exterior panels have warped and cracked was told manufacturer got new supplier and used wrong glue
Panels have been replaced with supposedly new and better panels and now they are cracked and warped=defective
Screws that hold speakers in are dripping g rust into spa =defective
We are on our third time with the spa company to correct this=defective
Why can't I get a new one?
This stuff will not go away but I feel when it does there will be leaks I think it may be glue

Energy Efficiency of Martinique
Before buying a spa, I was particularily concerned about energy costs. This spa was being located at a mountain cabin, with relatively cold winter temperatures frequently in the teens overnight from November - March. During much of this time, the spa (and cabin) are unused. This past winter, we found that the Martinique uses very little energy to maintain it's low setting of 80 when not used. I would estimate less that 50 cents/day, with the average daytime temperature of 25-30 degrees outside. As a engineer, I can say I am particularily impressed with the efficiency of Caldera. In fact, as I write this, I'm at the cabin. Come to think of it, time to hit the tub!

Las Palmas Caldera Spa
This is our first in home spa purchase since 1980! Wow what a great surprise when we started the buying process. Technology has imploded home spa options. First, encounter the sales staff at various retail outlets, visually see and place our hands on the product! Spacing was limited and we quickly learned the smaller unit we started looking for would likely not satisfy our desires. The Martinique was a step up from our original direction and worth the extra time and effort.

Love all the jets
My father in-law purchased this as a gift for us. He shopped around looking at different brands looking for quality of jets, comfort, seating arrangements, ease of care and energy efficient as this was the one factor my husband was most concerned about. The Bull Frogs had great ratings in energy consumption, but our dealer said this one would be just as good. We just got our first full month and had an increase of $70 and we haven't hit our coldest months yet. My husband is not happy at all. If not for the huge increase in our power bill this would be the perfect spa.

Love the tub not the sanitizer
Love the tub and design. The maintainence of the exterior is so much easier then our old tub. It looks great too.
My only struggle is the "Frog" automatic spa care. I developed a mold on this system. Very frustrating. After 15 years and no issue with Baqua system. So after several tries with "Frog" , I went back to Baqua.
We love the spa!

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.

Bluetooth Speakers
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.

Great therapy
I love the hot tub. I'm a little short for the lounge but I use it in other ways.
The jets are great for my hips and back. I can find a jet somewhere for every ache. I like the new shape of the filter. It is easier to get in and out.
The chemicals are fairly simple and the water has been stable.

My second one
After ten years we decided to upgrade to another Martinique, though there was nothing wrong with our 2004 model - it was still running strong (but for how much longer?). The energy savings was a key factor.
Six months have passed with our new purchase. The glamor finish is already starting to check/craze from the little exposure to the sun and shows dirt easier compared to our old textured surface that didn't have these problems.. The waterfall is never used. The spinner jets are sluggish. We like the extra jets in the lounge seat. The Frog system has never been used, we use the "silver stick" plus clor and shock. It makes no sense, but I'm fiddling with the pH way more than the previous spa - this is too odd. The factory spa cover is loosing its color in a few spots. The control panel took some learning. We wish the second pump had a second speed. The service panel has a crack at one of the screws.
If I were to configure the 2016 Martinque, it'd have a textured surface, no waterfall and both motors having 2 speeds with a simplified (more buttons) control panel.

Nice, comfortable spa
Overall we are happy with this spa, which we chose to replace an older one that was no longer functional. The only annoying problem we have encountered is that the plastic jet covers keep coming off requiring us to get into the spa and retrieve them and re-attach each one. Not sure why the Caldera company couldn't have done a better design job. One would think that for the price we paid we would not have to constantly repair this spa.

havent gone through winter with it yet but so far about 15 a month to run and it probably will be around 30-40 in the winter.
a little deeper tub would have been nice but not for 1500 dollars extra

So relaxing
We thought about purchasing a hot tub for a few years and we finally made the decision to purchase last year. After getting our Martinique we should have got it sooner. It is so relaxing after being in it we sleep so much better. I have neuropathy in my feet and it helps reduce the burning and tingling so I can rest so much better. If your thinking about purchasing a caldera spa I highly recommend it.

The Comfort would be excellent if I were a bit smaller, I am a very tall guy and this spa is good but not excellent for a tall person however being 6' 6" its hard to find something that is designed for us tall folks. The quality is great have had no problems with this sap, ease of water care is a weekly 5 -10 minute chore but easier than most, energy is great we have seen only a slight increase ($5) over the summer this winter will be the first. Overall very happy with the tub, and I'm one of those guys whose always skeptical of reviews, but all in all I would recommend this tub to anyone.

Overall a good buy
This is the second spa we have owned with our first one being many years ago. We had struggled in the past with keeping the water chemicals balanced. The Spa Frog system certainly makes it easier, but we still find that we are always working to get everything in the proper ranges. Besides that the spa is comfortable and we feel we made a good choice with our Caldera Martinque spa.

We've had our Martinique for 6 months now and are very happy with it. It fits our family of four (two adults & two kids) very well. The kids love the waterfall. I'm very happy with the performance of the jets, and maintaining the spa has been pretty easy. One addition that drew me to the Martinique was the foot ridge. You can crank the jets all the way on and lean right back into them thanks to that ridge.
I'm happy to report that our first 6 months have gone very well!

Martinique - a year out
The Martinique has good seating, but seems a little shallow depth wise. The controls (esp with the add-on wireless stereo) are very confusing. I would be interested in a more logical layout of the buttons and flow of the config parameters. Most folks cant figure it out. A thermal set-back might be a good idea, as its been left at higher temp for days, when no one was using it. Should it fall back to economy setting after 5 hours? A wireless control for smart phone would be a good add-on.

Support
The spa is fine, the problem is customer support. When the spa was delivered it was dropped, which caused a leak. Caldera replaced the spa, but it was a battle. The sales people where I bought the spa didn't know much about water chemistry. Caldera's customer support people told me things that turned out to be wrong. At one time Caldera support told me they would send me a free filter for my trouble. It never happened. The best support I got came from Bio Guard. It's a good spa, but you are pretty much on your own learning how to use it.

Martinique
We owned another brand of spa previously. Our main concerns with the Martinique spa is that even though it is a 34 inch model, the water depth and seat design does not make it comfortable for a 4'11" adult and would not recommend the spa if anyone in the family is under 5'2". Our second concern is the difficulty of getting into the spa and moving around from seat to seat. There doesn't seem to be any areas in the spa where you can obtain level footing. As senior citizens footing stability is a key concern.
I would prefer if the owners manual was written for this specific model instead of leaving it to me to determine what features apply to the Martinique.

Excellent first or 5th tub!
We purchased a Martinique Spa. There is something in this smaller tub for everyone. One position works the upper back, another works the lower back, 2 positions feature an upright seat that isn't designed to target specific areas and the lounge chair works everything and is sent from Heaven. We've had our tub for 8 months now. I've been very impressed with the ease of operation and maintenance, energy efficiency and overall quality. We love this tub. Our sons are 14 and 16 and we couldn't have spent money more wisely - the tub gives us excellent family time - we enjoy the tub and talk the whole time. I should have bought a Caldera Spa years ago!

We shopped around and looked at many differnet brands.But then we found Caldera and heard all the grear things about them. The Martinique was the perfect solution to the space we had available. It also had all the options we needed. We have had it for a year and are very pleased with the performance of our spa. The dealer was extremely helpful and very knowledgeable about spas. If and when we are ready for a new spa, it will definitely be a Caldera.

Total Relaxation
As a spa owner for the past 17 years I really enjoy the time my family and I spend relaxing in our tub.My 12 year old son especially enjoys it, and I'm still cool enough to be allowed to get in with him! The only complaint I would have was that my old tub had a red light that would blink or go out completely if there was a problem. I was in the habit of glancing out at the tub every night just to make sure it was working properly. We sometimes don't use the tub for days in a row, and I found the light useful ,especially in the winter since I didn't have to go outside to check it. Other than that small thing we LOVE our Caldera Spa.

Very satisfied
I was never a big spa fan but my wife has Rheumatoid Arthritis and I really bought it for her. She absolutely loves it. I have found that I would go out just to relax the muscles for a few minutes and an hour later I was crawling out of the tub. One key feature is it is very easy to get in and out of. Some spas are so deep that they are almost impossible to scale. I never even noticed my electric bills go up after the installation. Overall, a great purchase.

Our Martinique
We love our Caldera Martinique. We purchased it in the fall of 2014 and use it close to 5 times a week. I built the back porch of our new home to accommodate a hot tub. The Martinique sits right outside our bedroom door to our porch. Normally, we jump in it after a long walk or a long day. It provides immediate therapy to any physical aches or just helps you slip away from the aches of life.
Overall, our entire ownership experience has been wonderful.

Excellent Hot Tub
Owned this model for 1 year and have no complaints. Keeping the water and filter clean is very easy. The seating positions provide great massage for the different parts of your body. The diverter valve and different power settings of the jets allow you to have no jets on, partial jets, or all jets for deep massaging. The foot massagers are great.

Love our spa
We purchased our Caldera spa last December for our anniversary. We have had so much enjoyment from it over the past several months. Sitting in it under a starry sky watching planes fly over is incredible. The warm massage is just what my husband and I need after standing on our feet all day. Maintenance has been simple. We had an issue right after we purchased that Caldera took care of quickly. We are looking forward to many more years in our spa. I'm already looking forward to sitting in our spa this winter while the snow falls.

Great therapeutic tub!! Jets for upper back, lower back plus plenty of room to stretch & move. I'm a very active person & need to keep muscular system supple. Relaxing in my Martinique is a great reward for me after a hard day of fishing, working in my ice cream shop or hiking the mountains of Alaska!! Would I buy another one if I had to make the purchase choice again? Yes!!!

Perfect Spa
Awesome spa, perfect size. Most important feature of any spa is control of the jets and pumps, to the benefit of the number of people in it. No need to waste the power of either if there's nobody positioned to enjoy it, or to not be able to direct it to the one trying to enjoy. This spa is totally controllable, and every seat focuses on a different part of your body, with no waste of power. The circuit therapy is the real deal. Lights and waterfall are awesome. FROG system isn't really necessary, but does work well. Can't go wrong with this one!!

More help and enjoyment than expected
My Caldera spa has been very beneficial in the recovery from my wife's hip replacement. She has been able to help the circulation around the new hip with minimal effort. I have had a knee replacement and the spa has been so helpful doing exercises to speed the recovery along with my knee. The enjoyment of using this spa year around has been more than I could have hoped for. The seating and jet placement makes every seat special and enjoyable. Will not be without a spa in the future.

So much better than the old piece of junk I had before. This 340 gallon spa does every part of your body including feet. It's not a party spa where everyone sits in it for a couple of hours and talks. This is for physical therapy and when your body feels good so does your mind. My electric bill went up $12 for the month. It use to cost about one dollar a day.

Fun city
My wife and I looked at spas for several months and after several test drives we found the Martinique was the best value concerning size and settings. I love checking out all the positions and my wife loves just sitting in a couple of spots.
We have the spa in a sun room so it stays clean and we have privacy.
The controls were at first a little hard to navigate, but after reading the instructions and practice the controls are easy to use.
We settled with using Bromine as a preference. We did not want our skin to feel wrinkled and dry and smell like chlorine. Also, chlorine fades out clothing and breakes down the material. The frog system is easy to use and the filter is easy to clean. I clean the filter every time I change out the bromine cartridge and change the water every 6 months since we use it only 2 to 3 times a week and the spa is in an enclosed room.
I found out the hard way, to check the spa water at least twice a week to make sure the sanitizer levels are at the right levels. We bought the ozinator for this spa, since the Martinique does not include the product. It is well worth the extra money.
In addition, if the spa room was a little bigger we would have went for the Tahitian. We tried that spa out and is one step up and what a ride. Has so much room and all the jets needed including a jet in the middle that acts like a volcano. Kids would really like that spa too.
The Martinique provides all the room to move around without having others move all the time.
Best massage ever.

My wife and I use our spa almost daily. This is the third spa we have owned, and the best. It is comfortable and has an abundance of jets and adjustments. The thing I really appreciate is the ease of maintenance. The filter is readily accessible for regular cleaning, and balancing the water chemicals is easy.
We would recommend a Caldera Spa to anyone.

Experience The Ride Of A Lifetime
A little heaven here on earth. After six weeks of research, I came to the conclusion that as a minimum, the following items were necessary and advantageous to have in our hot tub: 240 volts capability, separate circulating pump, adequate quality jets per seat, ozonator system, waterfall feature, and some LED lighting. Finding these requirements in a quality built SPA for a fair and equitable price including some nice accessories was a challenge. Although my Wife and I have been enjoying our SPA for only one month, we are so happy and satisfied with our decision to settle on a CALDERA, Paradise, Martinique Hot Tub. We purchased our hot tub from the SPA Warehouse in Seattle who was both professional and cordial, and provided great service and delivery. My Wife and I enjoy the hot tub tremendously in the mornings but particularly late evenings with the lighting. My back problems along with severe arthritis are relieved considerably. This hot tub is a wonderful investment, can structurally endure moving if needed, and will remain with us wherever we may live. We absolutely recommend "CALDERA" hot ubs.

Therapy for the body
My experience with owning my second Hot tub ( this time I definitely will call it a spa) has been spectacular. I am borderline diabetic and before the spa my feet were so sensitive. Circulation in my feet has improved so much. I have often said that the price I paid is worth it just for the relief of my feet. I usually soak 2x a day, morning and night. Loosens me up for the day after a stretch and relaxes me before bed. My Spa is absolutely a great purchase for me and my family.

I was new to hot tubs before buying the Martinique. I made the purchase and have no regrets. There are only a handful of products I truly enjoy without having any second regrets with regards to the purchase. I love my car and boats but they don't qualify. So far to date I can only give accolades to my new Martinique Spa Tub, my leave vacuum (Cyclone Rake) and my dog. If you buy this tub DEFINITELY buy it with the sound system. It takes the tubbing to an entirely new level.

Martinique Review
We have had the hot tub for about 6 months and find it to be a wonderful spa. I have noticed lower energy bills since we replaced our previous hot tub. The fit of the tub is also much better for the two of us (one is 5'3" the other is 6'1"). The sales staff at the local shop is what sold us on the Caldera spa, but the ease of maintenance and enjoyment of thehot tub is what will have us back in the future.

We purchased our spa about two weeks ago and love it. We use it just about every day. The relief of back pain is just about gone.
We have the lounge seat and I love it. Very relaxing.
We are still getting use to adjusting the chemical levels, but it has not been that difficult.

Great Spa and Service
We love our spa, it wasn't on our radar until we saw it and got a great overview from Tanya, our super friendly and knowledgeable sales person. Superior Plumbing and Spas delivered it and have provided our chemicals since. We had a brief issue with a crack in the side panel from delivery, which took a bit of time to get replaced, but didn't impact our use and we are very happy with it and the available service and chemicals. Our only comment on the spa itself is it seems the little chrome caps on the small jets come off frequently. They snap back on but seems like some sort of design or manufacturing issue.

Second hot tub
I owned my first hot tub which was not a Caldera for 17 years. When I decided to purchase a new tub I was disappointed that their company no longer carried the size I needed to fit in my space. I was reluctant purchasing from another company,but I have nothing but praise for my Caldera spa. It is easy to lift the lid by myself,convenient to drain and refill,and I have never had a problem keeping the water crystal clear.

Love it!
This is my first hot tub and I love it! It comfortably seats 3 to 4 people and has 5 real seats that can still be used with no inconvenience. The jets are pretty powerful and there are some for your feet, upper and lower back, as well as a nice lounger. It has a neat lighting system and a water fountain which add a little glamour to it and kids love the fountain. It's easy to maintain, I just but a scoop of chemical in each week and change the frog cartridges every so often and it stays nice. Every so often I drain it and clean the filter... Fairly simple process. I think this was a great purchase and I do not regret it one bit! The non-square size of this tub also allowed for better placement on my deck. Only things I could say need improvement are more places to set drinks.. It has 2 small indentions for drinks but they could probably but a few more... That's just me being picky!

My husband and I both use our spa year round - keeping the temps warm in the winter and a little more "room" temp throughout our warm Texas summers. Whether a vigorous session is wanted after sports and working in the yard, or a more relaxing dip in the morning to loosen up and start the day peacefully, we love our Caldera spa.

Simple to maintain and relaxing
Purchased from the same dealer who installed our gunite pool a few years ago. Had cold feet several times as the up keep and pains people shared about their hot tubs made us keep putting off the purchase. Finally ordered just before the July 4th weekend. Had it installed two weeks later. Our pool is salt water and I dreaded the water tests the first few times. I kept expecting to have green water or numbers way out of line. So far the chemicals are simple and my biggest issue is getting my kids and neighbors out of it. Caldera has made us immensely happy with our purchase and I would recommend them to anyone.

Better than my hot springs
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.

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.

We are so happy with our Caldera Spa. It has been a great purchase. Every aspect of the spa shows that it will last and was built with care. We would recommend a Caldera product to anyone.

Love our Martinique
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!

We had a very heavy snow storm this winter and I made sure to sholve a way to the hot tub before anything else. 22 degrees outside and 101 in the tub....it was wonderful

Excellent Product & Service
We have had our Caldera hot tub for close to a year now and it has performed flawlessly. We had a minor issue with the tub when it was first delivered. Most companies would have repaired on the spot, not Caldera! They replaced the entire hot tub, mainly because they hadn't seen the issue before and wanted to make sure there were no other issues.
As far as I'm concerned, this is the only brand I will recommend or purchase again!

Magnificent Martinique
We have now had our Martinique for a year and a half and we love it. This spa is so comfortable, every time we get in it we say "this really is the best thing we've ever bought" For my family in particular we have used it to recover from injuries as well as to help prevent them. My husband gets in it before his early morning surf sessions and I use it more at night after my Pilates or gym session. The cost to have this spa is very affordable, my bill went up approx. $12 a month & we use it almost daily. The water is easy to keep fresh, we use the inline frog system and just stock as needed. Last but not least we purchased from La Costa Pool and Spa in San Marcos,CA great service, very helpful. We highly recommend buying from them.

Relief
We have had the spa for just about a year. I have suffered from lower back pain for years. Water therapy has been the best thing for it. I feel good. The only down side is that my wife has developed a sensitivity to Bromine, but we are going to visit the place where we bought it to see what we can change over to.
All in all though we love it. Use it all year long. Winter is our favorite time.

Love my Caldea
It raplaved a 30 yr old gas fired one with just bench seating a a few jets and a single light. It was also a gas hog using a 325btu heater that really spun the gas meter.
The Caldera addresses all these issues. Ready to use 23/7, comfortable loungers, easy maintenance and low energy use.

TOTAL COMFORT AND WELLNESS
I suffer from chronic back pain, and truthfully, since using this hot tub every evening for 20 minutes, i do not need the chiropractor or pain meds nearly as much. It is so relaxing, and the jets are positioned to hit all the spots that need to be massaged. This is WELL worth the investment. We highly recommend it.

So Relaxing!!
We love our CalderaSpas tub! We originally purchased it for my husband mostly because his job is rough on his body and as we age, it seems like it's getting harder and harder on his joints. We get into this tub and it's like getting into a warm hug... it wraps your body in warmth and comfort and the jets work on knots in your muscles until you are butter! We use it almost every day and the water maintenance is minimal work, which is ideal. Another plus for us is the bluetooth speakers that we had added to the tub... we love to listen to relaxing music while we soak, making it even more enjoyable for us! Thank you for making a quality tub~!

Overall Very Nice
A couple of minor quibbles but overall seems well designed and built. As some reviews have noted, the in-line bromine cartridge doesn't provide sufficient level of chemical, even after three weeks wide open. Had to go to a floater to get the level up but have had no other issues.

A Little Piece of Heaven
What a pleasurable experience, from entering the showroom to today's soak 6 weeks later. The jets are powerful, plentiful, and perfectly variable. The lighting is attractive and the water sparkles. Deeper seats and higher options are a plus for cooling down or submerging, and the lounge is perfectly designed for comfort. There isn't a place around the tub that ISN'T comfortable to relax in, and the controls are easy to operate. I cannot find anything I dislike about the Caldera Spa process, and the knowledge and personalized service from the salesperson made it ideal.

Been waiting years for hot tub experience
We've had our Martinique hot tub for over two weeks and have been in it at least once a day. We debated about getting a smaller model, but so glad we went with the Martinique! It's has such a variety of jets and we've really enjoyed the therapy it provides our tired aging bodies. No regrets so far!

a beautiful spa and perfect size for us
after our 30 year old hot tub died it had a good life and used alot. being so old the parts were not easy to get so we had it cut up and removed. we did alot of research on the size, the bells and whistles we wanted and the color.. we are so happy with the spa we chose. kevin was most helpful explaining all the jets, lights, cleaning and testing which was very helpful and we greatly appreciate. the delivery people were great and they got the spa in the space we wanted. we want to thank casey, anthony, al and nick. they all deserve an atta boy and a big $$

Wish we got this years ago
So many life enhancing qualities. First thing in the morning it revitalizes. After exercise it loosens muscles and rejuvenates. Before bed it relaxes. After a swim it feels great. Anytime really is an excuse to soak and recharge mind and body. Great place for the whole family to gather and actually communicate without smart phones. We love it! The lighting features, water fall and cleverly placed jets create a very pleasant experience. I am a long haul airline pilot. My flights are 12 to 15 hours across the Pacific Ocean. When I return home from long trips, this is my idea of relaxation therapy and solitude. Cleaning and maintenance are proving to be very easy. We cannot recommend this product as an essential addition to a healthy lifestyle. Great product!

Although we have only had our tub a couple of weeks, we are thoroughly enthused with it. It is very relaxing and everything we were hoping for. The lounge chair is terrific and the two corner seats are deep and really get you into the tub. We are very happy we decided to go with this tub.

"The BESTEST Christmas present, EVER!"
I purchased my Martinique SPA back in 2005, as a Christmas gift for my husband. I must say, it was a hit. His words EXACTLY, "this is the BESTEST Christmas present EVER!!". I am now a widow, as he has passed away, but I still LOVE our spa. It started life with us in Temecula, California and transited with us after his retirement to Fort Sumner, New Mexico where I can see the Milky Way from anywhere on my property.... particularly beautiful is the view while soaking in my LOVELY CALDERA SPA.

We bought this hot tub to help with my husbands back pain. It was the best investment we have ever made. This hot tub is amazing. It has so many jets and seating is great. We would highly recommend this spa for anyone looking for a great unit. We use nightly and it is so easy to take care of with the frog system, it came with our steps and cover and we added a lift for the cover which is great as one person can lift cover off of tub with no problems. It is AWESOME !!!

PS - After a day filled with chores, my daughter and I are looking forward to an afternoon soak and an audio book on the terrific Bluetooth system. Keep up the good work!

Awesome Hot Tub
We have had our Caldera Hot Tub for almost two years and it has been so great!!! This hot tub is the best quality we had found and we looked at them all. The Frog system made it a final choice and it takes all of the hassle out of water chemistry, very easy to use and allows you to enjoy the hot tub more without trying to figure out what to add and how much. Great tub we are very pleased.

We would recommend this spa to anyone who really wants better health. The salt water system makes it easy to care for and so soft on the skin. This was truly a worthwhile investment. Thank you,

I have suffered from back pain and lack of sleep for many, many years, after the first week of using our new spa, I slept for more than an hour or 2 and my back pain relief allowed me to actually start running again!! I haven't been able to run in over 5 years. The jets on our spa are in all the right places and hit every soar muscle.
So excited about the future and what I can do next.
Best purchase we ever made for our home!!
