Cabana boy

Type of male attendant

Type of male attendant

A cabana boy is a male attendant who serves the guests of a hotel, large private estate, or luxury resort operating from a nearby cabaña (Spanish for cabin; compare cabin boy, a similar occupation aboard ships during the age of sail), often on a beach. A pool boy or pool attendant performs the same duties at a swimming pool. Duties may include: working with towels, swimsuits, robes, blankets, bathing caps, soap, umbrellas, beach chairs, launder, and may serve refreshments.
