Me and my wife to be are honeymooning at the El Darado Royale in December.

Lot's of choices.
PGs - 1st and 26th
Tequila Barrel - 5th between 10th and 12th
The End Zone - 5th between 12th and 14th
Legends - 16 biz between 10th and 15th - air conditioned
Wah Wah - Calle 2 on the beach.

Will they be showing your games? I have no idea, but you could ask.

Graeme,

I had the same question and concern on my early visits. You will be happy to learn that you can likely find any game that is televised. Your best options are PG's and Legends. At PG's I would advise getting their early and ask them to find the game. At Legends the game will probably just appear on one of the TVs - but you can ask for something as well. I have been able to watch Celtic League and Heineken Cup rugby live at both spots.

So I will be down in October and would really like to catch a few college American football games on Saturdays. Anyone have recommendations for locations?

Yes you are.

My suggestion: put on about 40 pounds. It will make you safer in a hurricane too.

I like PGs and Legends. Legends is done up like a cool stateside sports bar. They saw us coming with Tammys Redwing jersey on and had the game on when we walked in.
