What is with the bathtub in the bedroom?

This may be common in other US timeshares, which we haven't been looking at, but it seems to be very common in the Orlando timeshares we've been browsing. Wouldn't it make the bedroom damp?
 
Are you refering to the Jacuzzi tub? No, it doesn't create a problem since so few people actually use it. It's ornamental.

Not with the air conditioning running at full tilt.

Yes -- the Jacuzzi tub. LOL. too Funny!

This was even funnier -- I think you, or somebody on the CPR construction thread, mentioned that they're going to be adding doors to the bathrooms? Good idea. :D
 
LOVE the jacuzzi in master bedroom :) Get a glass of wine with your DH and bubble bath, candles and ....

Now at Westin Mission Hills, CA it's big enough for 4 people -- but we stay at the 'two' number :)
 
When we travelled with my sisters triplets when they were much littler, they used it as a swimming pool/bath. We just threw all 3 four year olds in the tub at the time. They thought it was great.

That is a memory for them, but so is the 25 lb, 4 ft high easter bunny I bought them 1 year.
 
Many newer homes in CA also have this feature. We have a master suite with the bedroom opening on to the bathroom and the Jacuzzi tub is out in the open. The shower and toilet are private. Nothing is damp in CA, so that's not an issue for us.
 
Soon We Can Lock Ourselves In The Bathroom.

As I understand it, after unit renovations the potty will be concealed behind closed doors but not the jacuzzi.

I guess depending on your better half... it makes for bettter viewing than just the plain ol television set!

:rofl:
 
What Europe do you mean?

Back when we first visited Cypress Pointe Resort and were considering buying we asked why the toilets weren't behind doors. "It's a European style" we were told by our salesperson.

Fast forward a few years and I have been elected to the Board at the resort and one of the first questions I receive is "Why aren't there doors on the Bedroom bath areas?" And guess what - it was from a European owner! So I asked them - isn't that common in Europe? "Well", they said, "it depemds on which Europe you mean". Never did find out which one it applies to.

As part of the planned 2010 unit renovation work at CPR those toilets WILL be getting doors at long last. Along with new granite, cabinets, tile floors and much more. However the roman tub in the "B" side lock off will remain as is in the center of the room as THAT really is an acceptable design and considered very classy. The hot tub / jacuzzi in the other master bedroom will be behind the new doors.

Always changes and I hope we don't get complaints now that we're taking at least some of the show behind closed doors.
 
This thread is too good to let go without a post. Last Fall Dad, my brother and I went on a golfing trip down South and the first night we spent at a fancy casino south of Memphis that owed my brother a comp. Well, we shared a room that had a Jacuzzi in the middle and the shower which also opened up to the room had a glass door on it. I told them I had to take a shower and asked them to try to keep their eyes on the TV. We had a good laugh over it. My brother thought it was one of the honeymoon suites and I could see it serving as a pretty good one.

No complaints from me -- I would definitely pay extra for the doors. With a 3-bdrm at CPR, we would likely be sharing it with the cousins some years, and a little bit of privacy would be very nice.

Should not be a problem.

The 3BR Cypress Pointe condos all have 3 complete bathrooms.

. . . have your kids run in every three minutes because they need a drink, can't find their marker, someone hit someone else, somebody broke something, someone is not sharing . . . very romantic :(

Timeshare designers seem to go for jacuzzi placement in bedrooms even when there's room in the bathroom for the jacuzzi.

Our large full-kitchen 1BR unit at Woodstone At Massanutten last fall had the jacuzzi in the bedroom, right by the door to the (large) bathroom which was equipped with stand-up shower & dual wash basins.

Charles: Love your answer. Just wait 30 years and you will be our age and can enjoy the twosome only :)
 
Not a fan of it, myself. I want the bedroom to be a bedroom and the bathroom to be a bathroom.
 
If they are going to put any part of the bathroom in the bedroom, I would like it to be the toilet. I would rather watch the TV in the bedroom than read a newspaper and I wouldn't have to walk so far to get to the toilet when I have got to go during the night.:rofl:

No doors on bathrooms

I was amazed to see this in $600 K beachfront condos in the Dominican Republic. The master bedrooms had 3/4 walls behind the bed and the entire bathroom was open behind that.

I never heard the European angle before, but I was not a fan of this arrangement.

Some things should remain a mystery.
 
The first time I saw a bathtub in the middle of the bedroom was at Caeser's at South Lake Tahoe. It was a large, deep, round job - really tacky IMHO. However my son was about 9 months old at the time and we found that it made a great play pen! :hysterical: Maybe that's what the Europeans use it for?
