What does CABANA mean in Scrabble?
noun
North American
A small hut or tent-like shelter at a beach or swimming pool, used for changing clothes or resting in the shade.
The word is Spanish for a cabin, and in English it is mostly associated with resorts and hotel pools, where guests rent a cabana for the day. A modern cabana may have curtains, a daybed and even a small bar, so it is closer to a private lounge than to a plain changing room. Some resorts also call a ground-floor room opening onto the pool a cabana.
