We were so relieved after 2 days in Santiago to arrive at this beautiful paradise. Hotel Oceanic sits right on a cliff, so every room has an ocean view. We stayed in a standard room and would have liked a balcony room so we could sit outside and watch the sunset, but there weren't any available. The room we had was just lovely and the staff was very kind. The restaurant, like most restaurants in Chile, was very expensive, but the food was very good. Breakfast was served to you each morning (included in price) and consisted of fresh scrambled eggs, medialunas, fresh OJ, ham, cheese, and coffee/tea. They have 2 computers with high speed internet in the lobby for your use. The hotel is about 2 miles from the center of Viña del Mar, so bring your walking shoes. It's a little closer to Reñaca, which is another nice town to explore. We went in the middle of summer, but since the temperature drops to about 65 degrees each night we didn'd need A/C. My only complaint about this hotel is that it's right on the main road that hugs the ocean and has a lot of traffic passing through. If you keep the window open at night you hear a lot of cars buzzing by. There are no fans in the room, so it could feel a little stuffy. The gorgeous sunsets directly outside your window are quite amazing. I'd still return in a heartbeat!

The views from the Hotel are amazing, and the rooms by the ocean side are well worth the extra cost. The rooms themselves are a little dated, but are not bad. The pool is small, but nice. We really enjoyed the restaurant at the Hotel as well, the razor clams with parmesan were delicious and the service was great.

Well located hotel. Great views over the Pacific Ocean.

Stayed in Oceanic Suite and well worth the little extra it cost. Room well sized with comfortable bed. Well maintained bathroom. Rooms near road my be a little noisy but no problems for our room. Well appointed with comfortable lounge area and good bathroom.

All staff very friendly and helpful - they knew when help was needed and not. Restaurant served good food and decent Chilean wine at very reasonable prices; again waiters very friendly and helpful and could offer good suggestions if your choice was not available. A bar and swimming pool are available if you need it.

About 30 mins walk to the centre of Vina del Mar and shopping if needed. A perfect place to relax and enjoy the views, hospitable staff and location. Beaches close by if needed.

Overall, well recommended and a good stay with great staff and an excellent price.

I didn't really know what to expect, but after seeing the pictures on their website, I thought "Why not?" Especially, since it was only about US$120 for a family apt suite with 2 bedrooms and a bathroom. Our room was at the top of the hotel with fantastic views out towards Valparaiso. The hotel is precariously situated on the cliffs, just outside of the town of Vina del Mar. Since we had rented a car, it was not a problem to drive to town. It was a nice, quiet hotel. Very clean and well kept. We LOVED it! The price was amazing and so was the view! I highly recommend this place to anyone traveling to Vina del Mar. It reminded me a bit of a cute bed & breakfast that you would find in the south of France.....Breakfast is included in the price of the stay. There are no elevators so it is not handicap friendly.

  • Liked — Cleanliness, price, view
  • Disliked — Hard to get to, esp since there was construction going on when I was there.

We stayed at the Oceanic for two nights early in April (2007). Room 21 is spectacular for the reasons mentioned above. Also the restaurant was very good and the staff could not have been more helpful or considerate. We walked into Vina easily and took the bus to Valparaiso. All in all a wonderful place to spend a few days before heading home. I wouldn't want to stay in the rooms on the street side however, as it is a very busy road and would be very noisy......though cheaper.
