2015 People’s Choice winners announced
It was an extremely close race for many of the 2015 Best of the Best, People’s Choice Awards finalists, so close that some won by just a few votes in the last hours of the contest. Based on a total of well over 10,000 votes, the winners have been announced. To view the People’s Choice winners, click on any specific category poll on the bestoflakechapala.com website. A full recap of the 1st-, 2nd-, and 3rd-place winners is coming soon.
Highlighting just a few of the most notable wins, in the Restaurant category, multiple awards — including Best Restaurant Overall — went to St. Remy du Lac, thanks to exceptionally diligent voting and social networking. For the second year in a row, Bruno’s won Best Steaks, Best Hamburger and Best BBQ, while also coming in second in the Best Restaurant Overall. The Lake Chapala Society also made an impressive showing, capturing 1st place in four categories: Best Opthalmologist, Mailing & Shipping, Legal Services, and Outlet for Books. Also winning four important categories (Best Medical Facility, Emergency Care, Primary Care Doctor, and Best Psychologist) was Maskaras Clinic.
On Dec. 1, the top five candidates were announced, based on public nominations and votes received earlier in the year during the preliminary/semi-finals stage. All vote tallies were re-set to zero for the Finals so that each candidate began on equal footing.
The winners are entitled to use the award emblem in all print or web publicity, and they will receive a certificate suitable for framing. Winners are asked to contact us by email to claim their prize(s).
