We were just in a 2 BR at Ocean Palms in Hilton Head. Huge tub in each bathroom. Total waste of space. I have a jetted tub at home which I never use. I won't get in a tub or hot tub at any resort...just wouldn't feel they were clean.
I heard once ( I think from TS housekeeping) that you can fill it up and pour in DW detergent to clean it, as well. We rarely use one in a TS, as we have one at home. I recall one TS that did away with jacuzzi tubs when they renovated. I am surprised that more have not gone to just a large soaking tub.
We also run bleach through the jets before using the tubs.
We also had a terrible experience at the Marriott's Grande Vista resort, with these cornflake-sized pieces of gunk coming out of the jets, even after running the bleach through them, not just once, but three different times.
The housekeeping staff brought some product that should have cleaned the jets out completely, but after two times, there were still flakes of ick coming out of the jets. I believe I wrote a review of that experience.
Marriott's staff was very kind and placed us in a newer area, even moving our things for us. They also gave us a Marriott credit, which we used at the burger place by the pool and also at Nick's for a hot breakfast. Above and beyond.
Always take a bath...whether it's a jacuzzi tub or regular tub. Love to relax in a hot bath w/ a magazine or good book. Really missed my bath when on our European trip....as both the apartment in London and the TS outside Paris, (Royal Regency), only had showers.

When you get out of the tub, isn't that stuff you just washed off your body now forming a coating all over your "clean" body?
I almost never take a bath, but I have always showered at the end of it. I thought everyone did. Am I wrong?

Which resort has a steam feature in the shower in Vegas?
I use the jacuzzi tubs to store our dirty clothes and misc. stuff. Good to throw the used towels into as well. I am a fan of getting rid of them during remodels.
Heck, I thought you were supposed to throw a few racks of assorted beers in there and scatter some bags of ice over it and call all the new friends and TUGgers there. Fire up the grill! Have a PARTY!!! It's VACATION!!!
That's the best use of a tub for me!

Just to clarify, do you think that someone shoves poop into the jets? I don't see how else poop would come out of the jets.
Ewwww! No! THAT thought never occurred to me ... but it will from now on! The gunk is black mold. (And in that too-graphic description on the disboards, creepy crawlies were living in it.)
