We rented a cabana for the afternoon to stay out of the sun.
The resort offers several private cabanas equipped with comfortable seating and a small fridge for guests.
While the main pool area was crowded with sunbathers, the cabanas provided a secluded retreat where guests could enjoy their drinks in relative privacy.
Borrowed from Spanish cabaña and Portuguese cabana, both from Late Latin capanna. Doublet of cabane and cabin.
