Alps Spas reviews
Alps Spas Review
Alps Spas has garnered positive feedback in our reviews. It is currently regarded as one of the best hot tubs made in USA, one of the best hot tub brands overall and one of the most energy efficient hot tub manufacturers.
Reviewers made a significant emphasis on the touch display. This feature, conveniently accessible from within the hot tub, has been particularly well-received.
Out of 37 reviewers, 33 Alps Spas reviews have rated the hot tub brand highly, asserting that they deliver good quality and “jet power”; the same quality as top-tier brands but at a more affordable price point.
Their touch display is provided by Gecko and the touch displays were enhanced in all Alps Spas hot tubs.
However, I do not like the absence of price listings on the company’s website. This necessitates prospective buyers to request a quote or estimate, which some may find inconvenient.
Pros and cons: High-quality components ⋅ Elegant designs ⋅ High-quality strength ⋅
In a detailed review of the Q-90 model, a standout in the hot tub market, the reviewer posited that Alps Spas ranks among the best hot tub brands overall, and is particularly prominent in the Atlanta area.
This is noteworthy considering that Alps Spas is often classified as a second-tier brand in terms of operational volume.
The Alps Spas reviews state also that the Bluetooth connectivity is an add on and they would like it as part of the standard delivery.

Finding the right hot tub can be difficult, especially when you consider how many hot tub manufacturers there are out on the market today.
To help narrow down your choices and keep you from feeling overwhelmed, we want to explore the ins and out of one of the top hot tub manufacturers around — Alps Spas.
Alps Spas has been around since 1986. While the company is a globally-known manufacturer of hot tubs, it only has two manufacturing facilities that run out of Atlanta, Georgia.
Rather than maintaining a massive inventory of hot tubs, the company focuses on building hot tub and spa models to fit the specifications of each customer. Hot tubs from Alps Spas utilize high-quality components, which go through serious testing procedures before distribution.
One of the major selling points of the company’s spa models is the G-90 steel frame, which is one of the most durable frames around and comes with a lifetime warranty.
Alps Spas Series
Alps Spas has three different series, which each hold unique hot tub models to choose from. Here are some of the best hot tub models found within each series in the lineup.
Classic Series
Those looking into premium models with all of the latest components might want to consider the Classic Series.
Within the Classic Series is six premium models, all of which come with two or more pumps, multiple jet options, LED lighting, and additional features.
The smallest hot tub in the Classic Series lineup is the Innsbruck model, which has all the appeal of larger spas, though with a very compact size.
This miniature spa can fit up to three people comfortably and is perfect for those with smaller outdoor spaces, or for those who want a more intimate spa experience at home.
Users can relax in the standard seating to enjoy the powerful hip and back jets or soak deep in the therapeutic hot seat lounger to take advantage of a full-body massage. Some of the unique features on the Innsbruck include the 36 hydrotherapy jets, the Frog sanitization system, the multi-colored LED lighting, and the Balboa LED waterfall.
At the higher end of the lineup is the K2, which is loaded with a variety of unique therapy seats, has 31 massage jets, including those that provide a 360-degree foot massage, and a reverse neck seat. Users will enjoy multiple companion seats and cool-down seats with more than enough room for up to eight people.
If you’re looking for size and power overall, then there is no better choice than the K2.
Q-Series
If you’re on a tighter budget, Alps Spas has a couple of solid choices within its Q Series lineup.
There are four spas to choose from in this lineup ranging from the 4-5 seat Q-SL to the 6-7 seat Q-90.
All of the hot tub models in this lineup come with standard Alps spas features and have more minimal designs.
The Q-SL is the smallest in the Q Series lineup with enough room for five adults to enjoy comfortably.
There are a whopping 50 hydrotherapy jets in all, perfect for those who want an all-over hydrotherapy experience.
Users will enjoy the Gecko TouchScreen control system, the UV Ultraviolet sanitization system, the LED cabinet lighting, WiFi controls, and so much more.
The Q-90 is the larges spa in the Q-Series lineup with more than enough room for up to seven adults at once. With its additional size, it has room to hold 62 hydrotherapy jets. It comes with many of the same features as the Q-SL, including the Gecko TouchScreen control system, the UV Ultraviolet sanitization system, the LED cabinet lighting, WiFi controls, ABS-backed acrylic shell, and much, much more.
The Swim & Exercise Series is where things truly start to step up.
Within this series, you’ll find three swim spas, all of which are great for exercise and hanging out with larger groups.
The Denali is the smallest in the Swim & Exercise Series. It comes with room for up to seven adults and has 44 high-quality hydrotherapy jets, as well as two professional Badu Swim jets. The swim jets help maintain a steady current so that users can swim within the spa, combining all of the benefits of a pool with the rejuvenating benefits of a spa.
Similar to the tubs in the Q-Series, you’ll get Gecko Touchscreen Controls, adjustable stainless steel jets, a variety of LED-backlit components, a UV Ultraviolet sanitization system, an ABS-backed acrylic shell, and much, much more.
A step up from the Denali sits the Trainer spa model, which is wonderful for those who like to exercise in the water, whether lifting weights or performing aerobics. There are 27 hydrotherapy jets in all, as well as a single 200 GPM River jets. The Trainer comes with all of the same components and features as the Denali model, giving you high-quality strength and top-of-the-line spa construction.
For those who are looking to get down with the whole crew, we highly recommend the Party Spa. Yes, it’s in the name. The Party Spa features an incredible 13 seats and comes with 52 high-powered hydrotherapy jets, as well as a single 200 GPM River jet. We definitely recommend adding the Bluetooth Stereo System to this model if you want to bring the party to your backyard and WiFi compatibility for easy control no matter where in the house you are.
