Larimar Lounge

Puerto Plata's landside lounge — DragonPass or pay at the door, before security.
Larimar Lounge is the landside lounge at Gregorio Luperón International Airport (POP), serving Puerto Plata on the Dominican Republic's north coast. It sits on Level 1 of the arrivals area, on the right of the arrivals walkway, before passport control and security — so it's the lounge to use while you're still landside, whether you've just landed or you're early for a departure and want to settle before the checkpoint. Access runs on DragonPass, and the lounge also sells a walk-in day pass for around US$52 per guest, so you don't need a membership to get in. The day-pass stay is a generous three hours, longer than the airside lounge's two. Inside, it's a compact regional lounge with contemporary, comfortable seating — a cold spread with snacks rather than a hot buffet, soft drinks and a bar with house wine, beer and spirits, plus Wi-Fi and air conditioning. Because it's landside, remember you'll still need to clear passport control and security before your flight.
