Costazul
VRA
Varadero's airside departures lounge — pay in, sit back before your flight home.
Costazul is the departures lounge at Varadero's Juan Gualberto Gómez Airport, the main gateway for Cuba's Hicacos Peninsula resorts. It sits airside, after security, which makes it the lounge to use once you've checked in and are waiting to fly home. Access is on a simple pay-in basis — you don't need Priority Pass, DragonPass or airline status, just the price of entry — so it suits the holiday and charter travellers who make up most of Varadero's traffic. Inside, it's a calm, air-conditioned space to escape the terminal, with snacks, soft drinks and house wine and beer included. It's a relaxed resort lounge rather than a sprawling business lounge, but for a quiet seat and a drink before departure it does the job well. Varadero handles seasonal charter banks, so a pay-in lounge is a useful buffer if check-in or security runs long.
Crowding · busier around charter departure banks
Costazul is a relaxed resort departures lounge rather than a work space — fine for a quiet seat and a drink before your flight, but not set up as a business lounge.
Costazul keeps its food and drink simple and included with pay-in entry: a selection of snacks alongside soft drinks and house wine and beer. It's light refreshment to see you through the wait rather than a full buffet, in keeping with Varadero's relaxed resort feel.
After checking in and clearing security at Varadero's Juan Gualberto Gómez Airport, follow the airside departures signage to the Costazul lounge.
