Welcome to all 2,335 newsletter subscribers!

 

High season is winding down and several restaurants are adjusting their hours accordingly (see our Spring/Summer Dining Guide for details) -- at the same time, area hotels and other businesses are just gearing up for Semana Santa (April 13-20) and the thousands of vacationers that will soon flock to Jaltemba Bay. Let the festivities and hoopla begin!

 

And speaking of vacationers, our advertisers have already received 460+ reservation inquiries so far this year. If you own a hotel or vacation rental in Guayabitos, La Peņita, Los Ayala, Lo de Marcos, Chacala, Platanitos or other nearby towns, and if you've been considering advertising on Jaltemba Bay Life, now is the time! Contact us to learn more.

 

Remember to set your clocks ahead one hour this Sunday, April 6 when Daylight Saving Time finally goes into affect in Mexico. The US, Canada and the ten northern border municipalities in Mexico already sprung ahead on Sunday, March 9.

As always, we would like to welcome our new advertisers. Their support, along with our renewing clients, helps cover some of the time and costs associated with producing this FREE newsletter. If you own a business, restaurant, hotel or vacation rental please consider advertising to support our community website.

 

To help plan your upcoming trip or your day in the bay, don't forget to check the current weather conditions on the Official Jaltemba Bay Weather Page.    

 

 

Saludos!
