Riding Rock Inn Resort & Marina

Frommer's Review

San Salvador's second resort is the motel-style Riding Rock Inn, catering largely to divers. Its simple ambience is a far cry from the extravagant Club Med. Each accommodation faces either a pool or the open sea. The most recent improvement to the inn is an 18-room oceanfront building. Here bedrooms are decorated in a tropical decor with two double beds, satellite TV, a refrigerator, a telephone, ceiling fans, and air-conditioning. Each unit is equipped with a midsize bathroom with a tub/shower.

Many different dive packages are available -- check with the hotel. The resort specializes in weeklong trips that include three dives a day, all meals, and accommodations. Packages begin and end on Saturday. Although most guests are already experienced and certified divers, beginners can take a $150 (£80) resort course for the first day of their visit and afterward participate in most of the community's daily dives. Full PADI certification can also be arranged for another supplement of $450 (£239).

An island tour is included in the rates, but after that, most folks rent a bike or scooter from the hotel. On the premises, a restaurant serves routine Bahamian specialties, and a bar features a seating area that juts above the water on a pier.
