Well, it is my opinion!
Especially love the cattails and reeds in silhouette.  Tres chick.
I'll bet the losing side in the divorce gets the tub in the Separation Agreement.

Say what you want, but it has very quickly became my number one selling tub. We cannot keep it in stock! In a slowing economy selling the right tub is key. The Amore Bay is a life saver in our case. ;)

The only problem is what to do with the other tubs I have in stock? A lady came in last week pulling a flatbed trailer and said "I'm here to buy a hot tub" but I am only spending $7k. An hour later I was loading an Amore Bay on her trailer and she paid over double what she said she would.

Got To D1spas.com for a chance to win one. ;)

I'm still trying to figure out if it's an economical spa for a "slowing economy" or a $14,000 spa?  :-?

I was wondering about that too, but I assumed maybe she just got a lot of chemicals in the deal.   ;D ;D

Its a sign that those that have money are spending it and the people with less are holding on to it. My point was that if you are not selling alot of spas you atleast had better be selling the right spas. ;)

I don't think I still have the photo, but the COAST waterwall tub was even more hideous.

Ahhhh, gotcha!

It is really unusual for people with money to suggest a budget or price that they're looking to spend. Most often, price doesn't even come into the conversation until they go for their wallet/purse.

People of money also don't usually "shop around".  They typically go to a single dealership that a friend has gone to.  Pick out a tub that looks like it will meet their needs and then simply buy it with little negotiation.  This eliminates the "cross town" competitor who may well have a nicer tub for fewer dollars.  For the wealthy, that trip across town is simply not worth it.  Selling a tub that nets the business $4K is a good thing in a slow economy.  I registered and guessed upward of 14 million candy hearts.  I just hope that should I win it, I can pick a different color.

While I' :)m not sure I like the heart designs, I think that tub looks awesome. Even the red color is cool. I sat in one (dry) when I went to D1 and the mold is certainly a comfortable one.  Loved those captain's chairs.  The dealership didn't want to fill one up for me, and that's the only reason I didn't wet test.  From what I had heard about D1 and what I had seen on the web.....they looked like great tubs, it's really only because of the local dealership that I never tested one.

I'm going to enter that contest...just for fun :)

While I think this one is a bit cheesy, the regular one is a really pretty tub, one of the prettiest.

It was one of the first I wet tested, and I HATED it wet. I floated out of the captain's chairs, the neck jets splashed everywhere, it seemed weirdly shallow, and in the open area, the jets hit me in some very personal areas!

I'm not usually a girly girl, but I love it!  I think its beautiful... all the way down to the hearts.  I think it would look awesome with the right landscaping and/or indoors with mood lighting and some boom chicka wow wow music playing in the background.

My wife and I tested it. Liked the captain's chairs, but the rest of the tub -- the horseshoe shaped area -- was kind of a waste to us -- not much variety in seating or therapy.  And the seat jets Ivie is talking about -- my wife hated those -- turned them all off.

Ahem! Its called the "AMORE BAY" for a reason. ;D

This tub is not designed just for rest and relaxation, Forbes magazine did an article on this tub describing into detail about the hand holds on either side of the waterfall, also you will notice the placement of the volcano jet in the center. These are just a couple of the features another would be the cool down seat also works as a "get heated" seat. Come on guys use your imagination! this is a love tub for crying out loud. ;)

O.k. Im blushing here enough said.

Ahh, Forbes, that lends credibility because they sure understand spa design!! :o ::)  ;) (I wish I could add a audible sarcastic sigh here).

If I were a guy it would have been painful. But personally, I like to choose when the jets hit me & where, and when my kids are in the tub......well I don't want to have too much fun! ;) ;D :o

Whether you like the tub or not, at least the link included the greatest hot tub-related video of all time, the James Brown Celebrity Hot Tub Party. The first accessory I ever got for my tub was a James Brown "Celebriduck", so I can have a James Brown Hot Tub Party every day!

The contest should be easy to win - you just have to figure out what method the engineer is using to calculate volume. Not as much fun as the Hot Spring & Caldera contests were last year - those were a lot of fun to write, even if I didn't win... :'(

Well, I want to be polite and discreet about this, but this tub is not about having the kids in there with you, its more about creating them in the first place.

And I will gently add that those arm/wrist spinner jets in other tubs - at least the ones where the armrest sticks out towards the center of the tub - can serve a similar, uh, function.
