We never use them and while I agree with Presley's point / observation above, another reason we don't use them is they are seldom large enough to be comfortable or practical. Most of the in room units I recall are no larger than a smallish bathtub. I should note that I am differentiating here between a jacuzzi tub and a full jacuzzi (multi person) unit. A stay in Colorado had a full sized (multi person) jacuzzi in room and after hiking all day, we did use it.
Only one time, and it was a waste of water and time. I am a bit of a hygiene clean freak, and not a bathtub person - showers are my thing. But I felt I "had to" try it, early on in my timesharing life, wondering if there was something special about the experience. It was a pain in the [insert favorite body part.] By the time the tub was full and the jets were running, the water was too cold to be enjoyable. Pretty pointless. I haven't bothered since.
At least the pool jacuzzi is inundaded with chlorine when a kid poops in it and is tested mutiple times per day.
Isn't the chlorine disinfecting the pipes all the time?Presley has my answer. At least the pool jacuzzi is inundaded with chlorine when a kid poops in it and is tested mutiple times per day. Who knows what happened in that tub, and what's in the pipes without having been disinfected?
When a person tells me they spent $30,000 to $40,000 on their two bed unit I just smile anymore. I never tell them I have the same unit for $1. It might ruin the good jovial mood in the tub.

We're going with the new hot item...a large, doorless shower.
Curious: By "doorless" I presume you mean walk-in, without anything to keep the temperature in. Are you also allowing for cool air chilling you while showering? I find drafts to be a nuisance while showing in an open situation like that. Doorless sounds good, but how is it to actually use it?

I've wondered a bit about the issue of allowing the warm air to escape, too, but we are also looking at a heated tile floor, which should help. The bigger problem for us is terrible minerals in our water, which quickly cloud shower doors, despite a good water softener. Our design has a long, narrow shower area, with a side opening on one end, so that might reduce air currents as well.
