Some places call a folding tent a cabana. Others charge resort prices for a beach umbrella. This post is a no-fluff comparison of what you actually get for your money — and where the real value is. We run cabanas, so yes, we're biased. But we'll be specific about what's included, what isn't, and what's worth paying extra for. ## What "Cabana" Actually Means The word gets stretched. A real cabana is a private, shaded, semi-permanent structure with seating, a table, and amenities. It's your basecamp for the day. At [Son's Island](/book-now), that's exactly what you get — built structures, not pop-up tents. ## What's Included at Son's Island - Private shaded cabana with picnic table - BBQ grill and prep area - Fan and hammock - Free kayaks, paddle boards, life jackets - Beach volleyball, cornhole, hammocks - Restrooms and rinse-off showers - Parking ## Cabana Types ### Island Cabanas (A–C) Standard private cabana setups for groups of 6–10. Perfect for a family or two. ### Key Cabanas (K) Larger cabana setup for big groups, multi-family days, and birthday parties. Full breakdown is on the [cabanas page](/cabanas) and visualized on our [interactive island map](/island-map). ## Sister Property Cabanas - [Sons Rio Cibolo](/book-now/rio-cibolo) — palapas and pavilion areas, kid pool - [Sons Geronimo](/book-now/geronimo) — cabin rentals with private dock - [Son's River Ranch](/book-now/river-ranch) — riverfront cabanas + glamping - [Sons Guadalupe](/book-now/sons-guadalupe) — Guadalupe River cabins ## What to Bring vs. What's Provided **Bring:** Food, drinks (no glass), charcoal, swimsuits, towels, sunscreen, water shoes. **Don't bring:** Kayaks, SUPs, life jackets, tables, chairs, grills. ## How Pricing Works Cabana pricing scales by day of week, season, and cabana size. The honest move is to check live availability on the booking page rather than rely on outdated price lists. [Live booking here](/book-now). ## Booking Tips - Book Saturdays at least 4 weeks ahead in summer. - Friday and Sunday cabanas are easier to grab and feel less crowded. - Weekday cabanas are the best deal of the year. - Pavilion or large group? Use the [inquiry form](/inquire). ## The Bottom Line The right _cabana rental near San Antonio_ is the one where everything is included so you don't pay extra for kayaks, paddle boards, or shade. That's the Son's Island model.
