Reflecting on the significance of the awards, Jet De La Isla said, “These awards serve as a testament of talent and passion within our community. Each winner represents a unique facet of the LGBTQ+ experience, contributing to the paradise that makes Puerto Vallarta a gay mecca.”

The journey to these accolades commenced in mid-December 2023 with the call for nominations across 45 categories. Following the nomination phase, the top three contenders in each category were selected, prompting the community to cast their votes for their favorites.

Among the distinguished winners were establishments like Hotel Mercurio, lauded as the Best Gay Hotel, and La Noche, crowned as the Best Cocktail Bar. The accolades extended to individuals as well, with Daniel Lozano Lugo earning the title of Best Influencer and Mizz Peaches reigning supreme as the Best Drag Queen.

“This recognition is not just about individual achievement; it’s about acknowledging the collective efforts of our community to create spaces where everyone feels seen and celebrated,” said Mike Owens, owner of Studs Bear and Leather bar and the winner of Best Bear Bar.

From iconic venues like Pacho’s Ranch to emerging talents like trans leaders, Gemelas De Vallarta, the diversity of winners underscores the rich spectrum of experiences within the LGBTQ+ community. Through their dedication and passion, they continue to pave the way for a more inclusive future.

“As I saw the winners list for the first time, I was truly moved to see such remarkable talents and leaders rightfully earning recognition in their respective categories. It’s moving to count myself amongst them, knowing that many are not just successful individuals who follow their passion, but also cherished friends and neighbors within our vibrant community. Sharing in the collective celebration of our leaders and role models, has been an incredibly fulfilling experience for me personally, all thanks to our ever growing online FB community.”  De La Isla said.
