First list names 28 independent Caribbean hotels and villas on sargassum-clear coasts during one of the heaviest seaweed years on record.

PLAYA DEL CARMEN, QUINTANA ROO, MEXICO, October 8, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Houseful Co., a hospitality marketing agency serving the Caribbean and Riviera Maya, has launched The Latitude Report, an editorial series of ranked lists that spotlight independent hotels, restaurants, tours and charters between the Florida Keys and the ABC Islands.

The series opened this summer with The Clear-Beach List 2026, a guide to beaches without sargassum for travelers in a record seaweed year. Houseful audited 52 independent properties and named 28 on coasts that tend to stay clear. Rankings are based on shoreline orientation, offshore reef and island shelter, track record across recent seasons, and how openly each operator shares real beach conditions. Honorees span Grand Cayman, Turks and Caicos, Jamaica, St. Croix, St. Thomas, Cozumel, Isla Mujeres, Holbox, Puerto Morelos, Cancún and Playa del Carmen.

"Sargassum is a coastline question more than an island question," said Dustin Lack, founder of Houseful Co. "The properties on this list are family-owned inns and owner-run villas that know their shoreline and tell guests the truth about it. Those are the businesses we want travelers to find."

Every business featured in The Latitude Report is independently owned and locally run. Every claim is checked against what the business publishes itself, and no business pays to appear. Two more lists followed on October 1: Captain's Picks 2026, ranking 10 small-group charters across the US and British Virgin Islands, and Chef-Owned, featuring seven Virgin Islands restaurants where the owner still cooks.

The series grows out of Houseful's day-to-day work in independent hotel marketing, helping boutique properties earn more direct bookings and repeat guests. Honorees can request a free Latitude Report badge for their websites and social channels.
