SJO's calmest modern lounge — DragonPass, a hot buffet and a full bar near gate 17.
The BAC Credomatic Lounge offers a tranquil retreat from the busier parts of Juan Santamaria International, sitting airside near boarding gate 17. It's accessed on DragonPass, and a walk-in guest rate is published for those without the membership. The space leans modern and calm — sleek furnishings, soft lighting and a soothing colour palette, with plush seating arranged for a degree of privacy. Large windows bring in natural light during the day, while warm accent lighting takes over in the evening, and the air conditioning keeps the temperature even year-round. Food and drink are complimentary: a hot buffet alongside snacks, plus house wine, beer, spirits and soft drinks. With Wi-Fi, flight screens and a generally quiet atmosphere, it's a comfortable spot to settle before a flight, and it tends to be the most polished of the SJO lounges.

A comfortable, quiet place to get light work done before a flight, with Wi-Fi and seating you can use for a laptop. It isn't a dedicated business lounge, but the calm atmosphere suits email and reading.

Food and drink are complimentary. A hot buffet runs alongside snacks, and the bar pours house wine, beer, spirits and soft drinks at no extra charge. It's a fuller spread than most contract lounges of this size at SJO.
