How do Riviera jetted tubs compare

[elfbo]

We recently toured the models for the Riviera and saw that the jetted tub had jets on the bottom. For anyone who has stayed there. How do the tubs compare to the ones in other resorts?

Are they still soothing and massaging or just bubbly?

I wish I could tell you, however the tub in our room on opening week did not work. I normally would prefer a non-jetted tub anyways for reasons of cleanliness (I wonder about the water from previous uses sitting in the plumbing), but there are instructions on the Riviera tub that indicate a self-cleaning function. I was curious to see how that works. Maybe next time. I reported the issue to a cast member upon checkout, so hopefully it has been fixed.

I liked them, but I prefer the jetted tins. I think the jetted tubs are probably higher maintenance. We also thought ours wasn’t working, but finally figured it out. I meant to send a note to management there about how there should be a placard placed by the tub with more detailed instructions. It was all new to me. And it did go thru a rather lengthy cleaning process afterward. Still felt nice though.

Does anyone have instructions on how to operate the hot tub? I couldn't figure it out. I called front desk, they offer to send someone but DS was already in the tub and didn't want to get out. TIA

I prefer the old jacuzzi models to the newer bubble up ones. After walking for miles I like strong soothing jets. The self cleaning mode was noisy.

They are not really jetted, more of a bubble tub.

I like it. It was relaxing. I didn't get the "massage" effect you get from jets (though I still could get that at the outdoor hot tubs at the resort pool area when we went for swims), but it still felt soothing to be surrounded by bubbles. It also definitely felt more sanitary with the cleaning cycle and smooth surface.

I don't recall it being difficult to operate, I just filled it up and then pushed buttons until the bubbles started. I probably missed out on some advanced feature of some kind, but it worked fine.

Are the Riviera and Copper Creek tubs the same? The tub I had at Copper Creek was not working properly. It was still a nice soak, but it was disappointing that the bubble feature did not work.
