You’re in for a big surprise on your next visit to this popular 17-year-old plaza in Puerto Vallarta’s northern Hotel Zone, an incredible number of exciting recent changes and additions making it Banderas Bay’s most comprehensive plaza by far.

One-stop shopping anchored by the shiny, new, eight-theater movie complex CINEMARK, the diversified businesses here include familiar franchises like McDonald’s, Burger King, Subway, RadioShack and a branch of the popular Mexican TOKS restaurant chain. Major service providers, like the phone and cable companies and banks, prove handy and parking is easier, with 409 new spaces.

Some 200 options on the plaza’s two air-conditioned levels include medical and dental offices, beauty salons, restaurants and shops of every genre, a sophisticated department store and a larger-than-ever supermarket among them. Proving of particular interest are a new pet store, its interactive concept educational, and the recording Studio 343 just next door, which attracts the budding star in all of us. This plaza is on a roll with no end in sight; look for a gym, disco, language school, English book store, bingo parlor and other exciting additions in the near future.

“One of the biggest benefits of advertising in Vallarta Lifestyles is that a lot of readers keep it as a bible. People have arrived to our gallery looking for the pieces that are in the advertisements published 5 or 6 years ago, and that’s really valuable for us. Besides being an excellent magazine where is possible to find the newest in the destination, it is a publication dedicated to the public we want to reach and keep.”

“There are lots of reasons why we have advertised in Vallarta Lifestyles for several years. One of them is that they know pretty well their target, because they know who are their readers and they adapt as much as possible the content and material that is offered. For these reasons they have a growing number of readers which is very important for us. Another reason is that many people  —including us— think that the magazine has been as a serious publication since its beginnings. Historically, Vallarta Lifestyles has known how to capture the audience and has done it pretty well."

“We started to advertise 7 or 8 years ago and certainly it has helped us position our brand. Now that we have improved a lot in quality, processes and finished products, our marketing in the magazine is precisely to strengthen the leadership we have earned through the 13 years in the area. I also think that we also have grown with the advertisement and that it has been done and it has helped us get to where we are now.”
