Central America rainforest questions?

Travel Info
Which central american country has the nicest rainforest? I am thinking of going to a tourist friendly, relatively safe destination with my girlfriend and I was wondering which rainforest we should visit. I was wondering:
1 Are there rainforests in this destination that have hotels atop canopies (actually in the rainforest)?
2 Is this location safe?
3 Are there things to do in this area such as rainforest tours (english hopefully), canopy gondolas, caves, waterfalls, etc.? Basically we kind of want a true-nature experience.
4 Should a car be rented?

If you could be as specific as possible it would be GREATLY appreciated. Thanks!!!

Travel Tips

It's all the same rain forest. I think Honduras is the most beautiful, but it's not the easiest to access. I would recommend Costa Rica for you. It is safe, beautiful, and very accessible to foreigners. You won't have trouble finding anything you'd like to do there, and it's the only country I'd even consider renting a car in (although you don't need it).

I live in Costa Rica. Haven't been to other rain forest countries, but I guarantee you can find what you are looking for here. There are beautiful eco-lodges here in the southern zone, but no canopy tours. I suggest you search "canopy tours Costa Rica" You'll find lots of info there.
I've read that the roads in Costa Rica are in a pretty bad shape.
I've been to the Rainforest in Costa Rica. It's awsome.

However, I recommend the Peruvian Amazon in Iquitos, Peru. The people are very friendly. Explorama tours offers so much to do and their accomidations are nice. It's also not as expensive as Costa Rica. Your flight might be more expensive though. amazon@explorama.com
