T5 CCR - Are the Cabanas really 'Cabanas'?

1st world problem I know however I was sorting out some photos and came across some from the CCR and a few of the Cabanas.

It got me thinking and I may be wrong but is Cabanas the right word or description to use?

At the end of the day they are just big cupboards, fancy ones at that but with good facilities. My understanding, in English, is that Cabanas should have a view?

Oxford Dictionary

cabana, British & World English

1) A hut, cabin, or shelter at a beach or swimming pool…

2) Cabaņa Spanish-English

…cabin, shack…

3) aquella cabaņa era amparo de caminantes in amparo Spanish-English

…that hut provided shelter…
