Rios Tropicales Lodge or Pacuare Lodge for October honeymoon?
 
I am trying to get more info on the actual lodge for Rios Tropicales at the Pacuare River. Someone mentioned in a post that they have a honeymoon suite...is this true? Has anyone ever stayed in their honeymoon suite and if so can you give me some details? I sent an email to Rios Tropicales with a bunch of questions but I didn't get a response to this question...and am still waiting to hear back from them again.

I know that Pacuare Lodge has a honeymoon suite that looks great...but it is booked when we wanted to go. Pacuare Lodge looks nicer to me on their website...but Rios Tropicales has very few pictures of their accommodations.

Which place is nicer in terms of accommodations? We want to stay for a few nights so the accommodations are very important to us. Any help would be great...thanks!

Do keep in mind that October is a very rainy month. They do cancel rafting trips if the river is too high.

Yeah I know...but I am confused about the weather in this region? I know that October is considered a dry month on the Carribean...we are also going to the south Carribean of CR. Does this region around the Pacuare take after the Carribean side or is it more similar to the rest of CR...drier in October or rainier?

We went in March and stayed at the Rios Tropicales Lodge. Our room was very nice but I don't know if there are nicer rooms. I know they are constructing new buildings.

We had a veranda with a view of the river and I think all the other rooms did too. We had a double and twin bed in our room. We had a fully modern private bathroom. I don't think Pacuare has full electricity. RT had electricity in all of the rooms and it made the trip much nicer to have lights. There was also hot water and I'm not sure if Pacuare has hot water.

The public areas at RT are wonderful. They have a huge deck (partially covered) with chairs and hammocks. I think the food is supposed to be better at Pacuare. RT food was "camping" food. They didn't serve any wine but they served an alcoholic punch. We didn't care because the atmosphere was so wonderful. We were there with two honeymooners and they had a great time.
