Salon VIP
★3.4(9 reviews)HOG
Holguín's main pay-in departures lounge, airside after security.
Salon VIP is the main departures lounge at Holguín Frank País Airport (HOG), Cuba's gateway to the Holguín province and the Guardalavaca beach resorts. It sits airside in the International Terminal, after security, and welcomes passengers on a pay-in basis — you simply pay at the door, with no Priority Pass, DragonPass or airline status required. Entry includes complimentary snacks and a drinks selection that runs from soft drinks to house wine, beer and spirits. As a smaller regional-airport lounge, it keeps things straightforward: a calmer, more comfortable place to wait than the main terminal floor before an international departure. For most travellers leaving Holguín, it's the easiest lounge to get into.
Crowding · busy at peak
A comfortable place to wait rather than a dedicated work lounge. Fine for a coffee and a few emails on your phone before boarding, but don't expect a full business setup at this regional airport.
Entry includes complimentary snacks alongside a drinks selection that covers soft drinks, house wine, beer and spirits. It's a simple regional-airport spread rather than a hot buffet, geared to a comfortable wait before your flight.
After clearing security in the International Terminal at Holguín, follow signs for the Salon VIP in the airside departures area.
