    I thought it must be a type of massage table, but in another hotel description it seems to be something like a terrace?

    Entweder den Ausdruck 1:1 übernehmen (mit Großschreibung) oder
    überdachte Terrasse

    A palapa (a Spanish word of Malayan origin, meaning "pulpous leaf") is an open-sided dwelling with a thatched roof made of dried palm leaves. It is very useful in hot weather and, therefore, very common in Mexican beaches, such as in Acapulco. It is perhaps one of the most important architectural contributions of Philippine culture to Mexican West cultures.

    ... ein spanisches Wort malaiischen Ursprungs, das "saftiges Blatt" bedeutet ... oder wie bereits NooNee geschrieben hat : offene Holzhütte mit Palmdach


    PS : Ich hab' da mal noch 'ne Frage und diesen Faden dazu aufgemacht : related discussion: pulpous - saftig
