The page notes the project featured in the 2025 Green Destinations TOP100 Stories, which is a recognition, not an audit. The Running W Restaurant serves meat from the owning family's own ranch, after which the restaurant is named. Rooms are furnished with Belizean hardwood and what the hotel calls sustainable mahogany. This concerns furnishings, not the building fabric, and the sustainability of the mahogany is not evidenced.
