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!

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!

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.

Makena Heaven Update
Posted October 3, 2016
Update to our review.
My wife was diagnosed with a torn hip labrum (http://www.houstonmethodist.org/orthopedics/where-does-it-hurt/hip/labral-tears/) and talked to multiple doctors and was doing physical therapy for over a year. Nothing really worked and surgery was not an option due to blood clotting with previous surgeries.
Since owning the Makena Spa for over a month my wife's condition with the torn labrum has improved dramatically.
Since she has used the spa the pain has almost completely gone away and her range of motion is 80% better. She has quit physical therapy and is only using the spa.
We did not purchase the spa for her condition and did not even think that it would help in any way, but she has been pleasantly surprised with the outcome.
Soaking in this spa has completely changed her quality of life and we can't be thankful enough

I have absolutely enjoyed this spa. As a former spa tech and salesman I knew what to look for and this one had the best setup for the price. Plenty of therapy jets. The corner seat will blow you out if you turn it all the way up. Nice adjustability whether you are in by yourself or with 4 or 5 others. Plenty of room. Overall it is well built and stylish and the warranty is good as well.

We researched many different spas and sizes for over a year and finally decided on this one. We are first time owners and it was very easy to get the water set up and maintained. We have never regretted our purchase.

This tub seems to be of good quality thus far. I have owned mine for about 7 months and so far no issues. Put it on a solid foundation and you won't have to worry about it structurally.
The frog system and typical chemicals are the only set back with any spa. The frog system did not seem to do as good as i expected. Have no fear there are better options out there and i found them, and that has made me a very happy spa owner! Love the blue tooth music option on the makena too!
I use my smart phone and play music while enjoying the relaxation of all the jets. The spa should do me fine for what i need. I bought mine for the theraputic massage and relaxation from stress. It is great in morning and evenning time frames, and summer mode keeps it desired to be used year round. Thank you Caldera!

My husband and I replaced a 20 year old hot tub and purchases the Makena model in January of 2015. We love it! It is easy to maintain and with both of us having back issues there is nothing better than to come home and soak in the hot tub. We use it a lot during the winter and it was a beautiful addition to ou back deck!

We built a deck specifically for this spa. We enjoy it every day, even in the winter. We were surprised when our electric bill did not go up. We shopped for about 6 months before deciding on the Caldera Spa. It is very high quality and uses the Frog System for water control. We are very pleased with our Spa. Covenant Industries in Louisville Ky. made the installation easy.

We love our Caldera spa! We enjoy the heat and jets after a long day. It is very relaxing and soothes the aching muscles. When the grandkids come to the ranch, we lower the temperature to 84 and they think the spa is a pool! They enjoy playing in the water when the outside temperature is just inder the century mark here in Texas.

We put in a pool last year and decided as an "after the fact" to buy a hot tub for the patio. This Caldera Spa is awesome, and gets more use than the pool,,,year round (we are in VA so its cold in the winter). The light show is awesome, the jets are in just the right place, its cheap to run, it looks cool and when I'm angry irritated and tired,,,it makes me happy again.

We love the configuration of this tub. The lounge seat is wonderful. Blue tooth speaker system is great as long as you keep the water level below the speaker.
We had two small leaks in the plumbing. One from a loose PVC fitting in the first month and one from a bad pump drain plug within the first year. The seller fixed both of the issues at no cost within 24 hours.
Overall we are very happy aside from the minor quality issues.

My wife and I typically start our day in the spa with coffee, and end it in the spa with wine. It is so relaxing and therapeutic for the minor aches and stiffness from tennis, golf, skiing and other activities.

We had a great purchase price on our spa. We love the water fall and changing of the lights. Its the perfect size for 4-6 people. Couldn't asked for anything better. We have enjoyed it, which we use at least 3-4 times a weeks. It makes a difference in sleeping at night if you use it about 30-45 minutes before bed time.
