Readers’ Choice 2026: Nominate the Best of Rincón and Beyond

Nominations open September 16, 2026, at 12 noon

It’s time to nominate the Best of Rincón and the West. Now in its third year, Readers’ Choice has become an annual tradition, giving you the chance to recognize the businesses, people, places, and experiences that make Western Puerto Rico special.

From restaurants, cafes, and bars to service providers, shopping, nightlife, outdoor activities, arts and culture, and community favorites, there are plenty of ways to weigh in and show your support.

Two sections, one Readers’ Choice

Rincón, Aguada & Añasco
Nominate the best of these three municipalities.

The Rest of the West
Nominate your favorites from the other municipalities in Western Puerto Rico.

Submit nominations in as many categories as you’d like. Your nominations help determine which businesses, people, places, and experiences move on to the voting round.

Nomination Period: September 16 – October 15

You can nominate as many different businesses, experiences, people, or service providers as you’d like. One nomination per nominee is enough. Sending the same nominee multiple times does not give them extra credit. It only creates duplicate entries for us to sort through and can slow down the nomination process.

Please use a valid email address when submitting your nominations. Our system will not process entries if the email address cannot be verified through the CAPTCHA. We may also need to contact you to confirm or clarify information about one of your nominees.

Voting Period: October 23 – November 22

Winners Announced: December 2
