We had one for 15 years up North. We loved it and miss it.
We kept ours at 101F...we had to limit our time in it when it was set higher. Ours was a 6 seater with all the bells and whistles. Most of the time we used it with just the circulator on. We found the jets and bubbler being on at the same time was not all that relaxing.
Ours also had a lounger. If we get a new one, we'll skip that option. When using the lounger we tended to float. We'd have to put a weight on our belly to keep us underwater.
Spas come in many sizes. If you think it'll be just the two of you using it, I'd recommend getting a four seater or larger. Small ones with a full load raise the water level causing the water level to be too high.
If you have blood pressure issues, I'd check with your physician before getting one.
