If you're looking to get away from everything, you might enjoy this retreat, however aside from your room and the restaurant, there is really nothing else you can do on your own. There are daily organized tours of their coffee/tea plantation, hanging bridges, and zip line canopy tour. All, of course, with an additional cost. The hotel does offer transportation from the town, but the last one returns at 3pm. Taking a taxi after this time can be difficult and expensive. If you have your own vehicle it wouldn't be so bad.
If you are looking to explore Boquete and the wide range of activities and tours offered (And you don't have a vehicle), I would recommend staying closer to town.
