How wet is the "green season" in Costa Rica?

We are contemplating going to Costa Rica for our honeymoon in lat May. Are we just asking to be rained on each day? Should we expect a shower for an hour each day or being stuck in a room with a beach just outside. Anyone have previous experiences in Costa Rica during this time period? Thanks!

Hi! I got married in late May. During the green season, which starts in early May, it rains every afternoon, like from 1 p.m. to 6 p.m., non-stop. But the mornings are beautiful: sunny, blue skies, especially on the beach. We went to Tamarindo for our honeymoon and we thought it was better than the dry season because it wasn’t so hot. We enjoyed the beach and the ocean in the mornings and even some afternoons when it didn’t rain. We were even able to take a sunset cruise that left at 4 pm and it didn’t rain. But of course, you should be prepared to see lots of rain. The rain in the rainforest is kind of cool, though, plus, being honeymooners, I’m sure you will find something to do in the room if it’s raining ;-)
