Description of facilities at a spa hotel
"Una vacanza benessere tra piscine termali, lettini effervescenti, idromassaggi, percorso vascolare e docce aroma-cromatiche."
...
There's no other relevant description in the immediate context (which is just puff about cocktails and special offers).
It sounds a bit like a Jacuzzi, but since that's a proprietary name, I'd prefer to avoid it.
This webpage has a photo of an 'angolo lettini effervescenti' (not from my text), in case it helps: http://www.trivago.it/montegrotto-terme-88792/hotel/eliseo-1...
...
"Effervescent beds" crop up quite a bit on the web, but they virtually all seem to be translations from the Italian.
...
TIA :)

Bubble bed
I think a bubble bed is very similar to a Jacuzzi and they are often side by side on hotel websites:

water or hydro jet massage bed
This is a possibility and gets quite a few hits. The only doubt I have is that it seems to refer to a huge range of jacuzzi type baths and beds.

Effervescent pool / Effervescent swimming pool
This is one idea. I thought that maybe the idea of using "bed"-associated words might not work so well in English . So maybe describing exactly what it is might be an option.
Example sentence:
"Gellert's effervescent swimming pool is a major attraction at the spa."

bubble seat
These release air bubbles instead of water jets. I have found that international travel sites advertise them as being "bubble seats".
