Varadero's arrivals lounge — regroup after landing with a drink and a quiet seat.
Caribeno is the arrivals lounge at Varadero's Juan Gualberto Gómez Airport, the gateway for Cuba's Hicacos Peninsula resorts. Where most airport lounges cater to departures, Caribeno is built for inbound passengers — somewhere to freshen up and regroup after a long flight before the transfer to your hotel. Access is on a pay-in basis, with no membership or airline status required, which fits the holiday and charter travellers who arrive in Varadero. Entry includes snacks, soft drinks, house wine, beer and liquor, so you can ease into the start of the trip with a drink in a calm, air-conditioned space rather than the bustle of the arrivals hall. It's a relaxed resort lounge rather than a full-service business lounge, but as a buffer between a long-haul landing and the resort transfer it's a welcome option. Departing passengers are pointed to the separate Costazul lounge airside.

Caribeno is an arrivals lounge built for relaxing after a flight, not for working — it's a quiet stop to regroup with a drink rather than a business space.
Caribeno includes snacks alongside a fuller drinks offering than a typical small lounge — soft drinks, house wine, beer and liquor, all part of pay-in entry. It's a relaxed welcome drink and a bite to settle in after a flight rather than a full meal service.
