Welcome to our forum.
We're looking at 90x110 tubs. I'd like to keep the cost around 10k. We saw Caldera Cantabria- that's my favorite, but the most costly at $11,6. The Maax 811 at $10,8 and the South Seas 965L which is the lowest at $9,5. The Caldera just seemed more luxurious. However, I know that I can get somewhat hypnotized by pretty lights and waterfalls. Is the Cantabria THAT much better than the others? I did like that the frog inserts right into the tub so nothing has to float around. Other than that, I'm not sure about the technical aspects of the unit. The dealer that suggested the South Seas to keep me closer to my budget also sells Sundance- that comparable model was over $14k I'm stuck on a couple of things....seat heights being one of them, because I still have an 8 year old who won't be able to sit anywhere in a spa w/o a cooldown seat (so that eliminates the South Seas) but my wallet tells me that she'll grow The other issue with a tub this size is the cover w/ lifter. It appears that they all fold across the short side of the tub and stick up substantially. This impacts my line of sight to the pool. Do any of them fold longways? I.e. the cover stores on the long side of the tub (preferably behind my head if I'm in the lounger). Any thoughts would be appreciated!
Go and wet test a Hot Springs Grandee. The cover folds length-wise. I bought it in Sept. '13 for just under $10K and it has been nothing short of fantastic.
...........The South Seas spa price is enough different that I can see how that might intrigue you but they're an unknown to me.
