Riding Rock Inn Resort & Marina

San Salvador's second resort is the motel-style Riding Rock Inn, which caters largely to divers. Its simple ambience is a far cry from the extravagant Club Med. Each guest room faces either a pool or the open sea. The most recent improvement is an 18-unit oceanfront building in which the rooms are decorated in a tropical decor with two double beds. An island tour is included in the rates, but after that, most folks rent a bike or a scooter from the hotel. An on-site restaurant serves routine Bahamian specialties, and a bar features a seating area that juts above the water on a pier.

Many different dive packages are available -- check with the hotel to find one that suits you. The resort specializes in weeklong trips that include three dives per day, all meals, and accommodations. Packages begin and end on a Saturday. Although most guests are already experienced and certified divers, beginners can take a US$165 resort course on the first day of their visit and afterward participate in most of the daily dives. Full PADI certification can also be arranged for US$425 to US$499.
