Hola,
With 125,000 miles of travel this year alone I can assure you it absolutely the "little things" that you do not even think about that make THE DIFFERENCE. As a physician doing extensive mission work in spectacular, as well as, the most challenging environments. Rarely do you meet altruistic individuals that just want to see you enjoy their accommodations, while experiencing everything an area has to offer.
Jeannette and her husband more than exceed these standards. I phoned her late on Mother's day (for a next day arrival) she was more than sincere and accommodating. She told me their property was occupied now, however, the family was leaving in the morning and she would personally get the home ready. I told her I would make the rental as "painless as possible" three phone calls later THAT night she was still eager to assist.
With less than a 1000 individuals residing on the island (depending if the ferry is coming or going), you do not have many choices with regards to were to stay or to eat.
Google almost banned me from any more Toboga Island searches: romantic Toboga Island accommodations, oceanfront rooms Toboga Island, best ocean view Toboga Island, best hotel Toboga Island, etc. Anyway, after way to much research decided on Jeanette's place which proved to be favorable.
I actually flew over on a helicopter. Jeanette's husband picked us up and immediately offered to give us a tour of the island so we would be acquainted with our surroundings. Next, we went to our home which has a huge deck with panoramic views of the ocean, adjoining islands, etc. Inside, the home their is a nice living room with an adjoining kitchen and an ice cold master bedroom with huge bathroom.
There were just two of us, however, the home could easily accommodate two couples or a family.
The home was all inclusive, gas grill on the deck, kitchen full of appliances, Wifi was readily available, as well as, satellite tv, even masks and snorkles ready to go.
Anything forgotten was just a short phone call away to Jennette. They have resided on the island for the last seven years and WILL tell you what the best the island has to offer and what to avoid. Again, they know their island and are eager to tell you the good and the ugly which can save you from eating in the wrong place or fishing with the wrong captain, etc When I left a set of keys, she made sure they were delivered on the ferry back to Panama City. When I asked to compensate her she just laughed.
