Cabana boy
"Pool boy" redirects here. For film, see The Pool Boys.
A cabana boy is a male attendant (boy in this sense) performing services to the guests of a hotel or a large private estate, operating from a nearby cabaña (American Spanish for cabin; compare cabin boy), notably on a beach. A pool boy performs the same duties at a swimming pool. Cabana boys are typically viewed as scantily clad attractive young men who cater to their clients' every whim.[1]
