I am getting my foundation poured this week. Once that is done, I will turn my attention to purchasing a spa. I am also waiting for the CA state fair. I understand that is when the dealers discount their tubs. My short list includes the Caldera Moorea, Sundance Bahia, and Tiger River Caspian. I wet tested all three. Leaning towards the Moorea and Bahia. I believe a fair price for the Bahia is $6,000 and for the Moorea $6,600. Any comparables out there? I delayed purchasing so far, becauase I feel like the dealer may be asking too much. The dealer is asking $6800 for the BAhia and $7500 for the Moorea. Also, I have a good size family. My wife and 5 kids. The kids are all young and small. Anyone else have these same or similar sized tubs? Is there room enough? Thanks for any info.

I wet tested the HS Tiger River Caldera, the HS Vista, Sundance Optima and Bahia, and Caldera Moorea. The Bahia and Moorea, I think, are comprable spas. The Moorea does have a lounge. From reading other posts, the Bahia seems to go for around $6,000. Out of the spas I wet tested, the Bahia and Moorea did the job for me. I like the Moorea a little bette. Still trying to find out what others paid for the Moorea. Good luck with you search. Take the advice of this forum and wet test. I did and found some less expensive tubs that I liked better than their more expensive sister tubs.

For all my research, I think the Bahia should go for around $6,000. I have seen people post saying they paid as little as $5,600 and as high as $6,800. I don't know about the other two spas. I wet tested the Bahia. I also wet tested the Moorea. Between the two, the Moorea in my opinion won by a slight margin. Right now I am trying to figure out how much to pay for the Moorea.

I wet tested the Optima and Bahia. Minus the aromatherapy, the Bahia held its own. As far as the aromatherapy, I wonder if it wouldn't be a distraction. But that would be a personal choice. The Bahia goes for much less, and I think, give you a very comprable experience. I also tested the Caldera Moorea. This one has a lounge. I didn't think I would like a lounge, but this louge worked for me. I like the Moorea better than the Optima and Bahia. But no by too much.

Thank you for the information on the Bahia. That same tub is on my short list. I think 6,000 is in the ball park. If I can't get the Moorea dealer to come down some, I might just be getting a Bahia. Anyone out there have pricing on the Moorea? Just want to get some comps so I can get an idea of what I should be paying.

I wet tested the Moorea. Very nice. I am consider purchasing that same model. I am reasearching prices. If you don't mind could you share with us how much you paid. Thanks

I am shopping form my first spa. I have read the various post and have already wet tested three spas. The Tiger River Caspian, Caldera Moorea and Sundance Bahia. I prefer the Moorea over the other two. I am trying to research a fair price for the Moorea and as a back-up the Bahia. This is where I need your help. From the previous posts I have read, it looks like $5,600 is a common number. There is not much information on the Moorea. The dealer quoted me $7500 for the Moorea. I belive that to be too high. If I am comparing similiar spas, the Moorea should b priced closer to the Bahia (I realize the Moorea is a lounge. A a better comparison would be the Hawaiian. The Hawaiian wasn't available to wet test, and I liked the lounge in the Moorea). So first off, is $5,600 the correct price point for the Bahia? Second, is the Moorea a comprable tub? Third, if not, what should I expect a fair price for the Moorea? Thanks in advance.
