The first annual Puerto Vallarta Gays Best Of Awards (2023) was the idea of local entrepreneur Jet De La Isla, who also started (and moderates) the Facebook group Puerto Vallarta Gays Everything Gay You Need or Want to Know.

He wanted to use the power and influence of that group to recognize and celebrate businesses and individuals who “make Puerto Vallarta’s LGBT community shine brighter than ever before.”

And so in December 2023, he and a team assembled 45 different categories to have nominations.

They set up a form and asked for contributions through the 41,000 member Facebook group. Thousands of people nominated their favorites.

From there, the nominations were narrowed down to the top three in each category (some categories had more than a top three due to ties). Those nominations were then sent out in a form for voting in January 2024. And the top vote getters were declared the winners.

“In the spirit of unity and passion, we acknowledge that it is with the support of our incredible community that we can follow our passions and continue doing what we love,” Jet said.

“On behalf of the Puerto Vallarta Gays: Everything Gay You Need Or Want To Know Facebook Group, I want to extend our heartfelt congratulations to each of you for your remarkable achievements at the Puerto Vallarta Gays Best Of Awards 2023,” Jet De La Isla said at a recent awards ceremony.

Even to make it as a top three finalist was quite an accomplishment for some of the businesses as many, many businesses were nominated.

De La Isla said the awards for 2024 would be fine tuned, with suggestions from the community on improvements that can be made - both to the nomination process and final voting. But overall he said, he was pleased with thousands of people participating in a fun event to showcase the Puerto Vallarta LGBTQ+ community.
