Note: Long Island Hot Tub is now known as Best Hot Tubs
From Iceland to Costa Rica, from Japan to Palm Springs, and from Bath (Great Britain) to Baden Baden (Germany, resort hot springs have become popular tourist attractions for the whole family. No longer mere day trips when touring a region, their therapeutic, invigorating, and relaxing benefits are increasingly perceived as destination-vacations that know no age restrictions.

But what if families can’t get away to such exotic places for the latest in spa treatment? One might say: aye, where’s the rub? The answer, of course, is adding a spa right at home, in one’s own backyard. And there’s many ways to do that…from the expensive to the more cost-friendly escape.
Custom In-ground Spa: A custom in-ground spa is a wonderful option if you have the means and space. Often connected to a swimming pool and built at the same time, it can be an integral part of the pool or separate. In fact, many families prefer them to function separately, with the spa having its own controls. This allows the spa to run late into the colder months.
Some of our clients tell us that their children are their backyard spa’s biggest fans. They invite friends over in the fall, when everyone’s pool is shut down; they also ask for it to be turned on during summer evenings, when they feel a little chilly after several hours in the pool.
Portable Spas: Like custom ones, portable spas come in a wide variety of designs and sizes. Families find many ways to enjoy the spa together. One way is star-gazing. Big dippers and little dippers alike find their own backyard to be a destination-resort.
Portable Spas: The easiest and simplest way to bring the joys of thermal waters back home is with a portable spa. We specialize in Bullfrog Spas because of how they are designed. With individual and interchangeable JetPak massage jets that snap in and out, each member of the family can choose what they’re looking for: therapy or just fun.
