Beachfront hotel in the charming resort town of Piriápolis offering comfortable rooms with sea views. Direct beach access, pool, and restaurant serving fresh seafood. Classic seaside vacation atmosphere at affordable prices.
Hotel Oceanic Piriápolis holds a beachfront position on the Rambla de los Argentinos, the main coastal promenade of Piriápolis — a compact beach resort town on Uruguay's Atlantic coast, approximately 100 kilometres east of Montevideo and 45 kilometres west of Punta del Este. The hotel at Rambla de los Argentinos 1226 is within easy walking distance of the town centre, the historic Argentino Hotel complex, and the base station of the aerosilla cable car that ascends Cerro San Antonio for panoramic views across the bay. Piriápolis is served by regular buses from Montevideo in roughly 90 minutes and by car via the Ruta Interbalnearia.
The property reflects the mid-20th century seaside architecture common to the Piriápolis seafront: a substantial coastal structure with rooms arranged to take advantage of beach orientations. Accommodation ranges from standard doubles to superior sea-view rooms; all include air conditioning, cable TV, and free Wi-Fi. Sea-view rooms face directly onto the beach.
An outdoor pool is available during the summer season from December through March, supplementing the direct beach access from the hotel grounds. The on-site restaurant serves fresh seafood alongside Uruguayan grilled meats (parrilla), and a bar operates in the evenings. Breakfast is included in most rate categories and is served buffet-style each morning. On-site parking is provided at no extra charge.
The hotel caters primarily to Argentine and Uruguayan families on summer holiday, with January and February representing the highest occupancy period. The service model is family-friendly and straightforward, with staff able to advise on Cerro San Antonio hill walks, local boat tours, and day excursions along the coast toward Punta del Este. The shoulder season from November and late March delivers the same amenities at lower rates and noticeably quieter beaches.

- Piriápolis is quieter and more affordable than Punta del Este; November and late March offer good beach conditions with fewer crowds.
- The aerosilla cable car to Cerro San Antonio operates on weekends in summer and gives the best panoramic view of the bay and rambla.
- Regular buses to Montevideo depart from Piriápolis terminal, about 600 metres along the rambla from the hotel; the journey takes approximately 90 minutes.
- The local fishing fleet docks at the pier each morning; the hotel restaurant sources fresh catch from local suppliers.
