cabana boy
Beach hut helper
A cabana boy is a young man employed at a beach resort, pool club, or similar venue to attend to guests—setting up lounge chairs, fetching towels, bringing drinks.
The term carries connotations of youthful attractiveness and subservience, making it a stock figure in fantasies about tropical vacations and poolside leisure.
It sometimes appears in mildly suggestive contexts, playing on the idea of an attentive, good-looking servant catering to a guest's every whim.
