Riding Rock Resort and Marina Review

A diver's dream, this motel-style resort offers three dives per day to pristine offshore reefs and a drop-off wall teeming with life. It's also the only place to stay on San Salvador if you want to manage your own activities. The resort's three buildings have rooms facing either the ocean or the freshwater pool. All rooms have fresh paint, new tropical curtains and bedspreads, washed-oak or wicker furniture, and a sitting area with a table and chairs; some ocean-side rooms have refrigerators and queen-size beds. The restaurant serves grilled wahoo and tuna right off the boat as well as hearty pancake breakfasts. There's good bonefishing you can do on your own north of Club Med, and in Pigeon Creek. You should rent a car or a bike at least one day and explore the island.
