Swimming Pool and Spa Design is a Hyannis pool and spa shop that sells, installs, and services pools, hot tubs, and spa equipment, run by Steve and a small crew. The reviews split sharply along one line. Two named technicians, Al and Bobby, draw specific, repeated praise for showing up and fixing what other companies couldn't -- in mid-2024, one customer said Bobby "figured out an issue we have been trying to fix with other companies" in a single visit, and another credited him with tracking down a wiring problem others had given up on. A handful of customers going back to 2023 say Steve and the crew have been responsive for hot tub installs and the maintenance that follows. Set against that is a longer, more detailed run of complaints about the retail and warranty side. Customers describe hot tubs paid for in full that took months to arrive or never arrived at all, and a spa repair strung along with excuses for close to five months. One 2025 review describes a used spa that arrived leaking and never got the promised parts. A 2022 review says a customer trying to return an unopened chemical bottle was told "state law" barred the return; a related account calls that explanation incorrect and says a contract had to be terminated and another pool/spa company hired to finish the last 20% of a job. Staff have also been named directly for not knowing where parts are stocked or what they cost. The Better Business Bureau grades the business B- for failing to respond to one complaint on file; its BBB profile lists an address of 87 Enterprise Rd, which differs from the 55 MA-28 address on file for this listing. Anyone considering hiring should get delivery timelines and warranty terms in writing before paying in full, and ask specifically who would be handling the work.
Very helpful got my pool opened and cleaned, good pricing
always good.advise very helpful
Purchased a Columbo hot tub by Platinum Spas. Excellent product in all respects … but $200 maintenance fee is not worth paying for bc service is “non-existent”! The hot tub basically sells itself but longterm the maintenance is what determines the life-expectancy of a hot tub. I would definitely purchase from SPS & D bc of excellent pricing but would NOT pay for maintenance contract. Service tech doesn’t show up even if u have a scheduled service appointment.
The owner is an absolute liar. Was told my spa repair was under warranty. Great! It's been almost 5 months and I am getting constant lies and the run around about the repair! First it would be on next week, then the next, then we were on the repair schedule, then It was "a tricky part to locate" then it was back ordered, then, and this takes the cake... the tech is in the field today to do your repair. They don't return your call, they give you the run around and STRAIGHT UP LIE. This is all coming from the owner. He straight up lies on the phone! Apparently they do not care about their buisness at all! Now my part (which I was told was on the schedule to be put in yesterday) will be in on Sept 15! Ha!!!! Steve is an absolute liar. Not sure why it's so hard to 1. Order a part and 2. Just be honest! Trash owner. Fix my spa steve. I'll be reporting to BBB AND contacting small claims court if you do not fix it. Apparently Steve has time to read and respond to reviews with B.S lies, but not answer the phone or run a buisness correctly!
Ordered and paid for hot tub over a month ago. Was promised it was in stock and would be delivered in 2 weeks. Have called several times, get sent to fax machine. When finally chase down a person they have no idea when I can expect to receive hot tub…and it’s been paid for in FULL! The worst customer service! Thank you for delivering the hot tub and setting it up! I’m very happy with it. Appreciate your help and communication about delivery. Customer service much better!
