My TripAdvisor Review No.636: Seasons Mall, Magarpatta, Pune.

Beehive Of Activity.

Seasons Mall at Magarpatta City in Pune has become our favourite go-to place for shopping and entertainment. Compared to the other malls like Phoenix and Amanora the infrastructure is very simple and uncomplicated. Parking charges are also very reasonable, unlike in Phoenix mall where they jack up the parking rates on the weekends.

The mall is spread over four floors. There are shops and retail stores of all the major global brands, parlours, restaurants, cafes and coffee shops, hypermarkets for daily necessities, gaming zones, and a multiplex where you can watch the latest movies in town. You could spend your entire day at this mall without getting bored. Needless to say that the washrooms are clean and well maintained.

After some shopping we went up to the top floor to see a movie in the ten hall multiplex run by Cinepolis. There is a Cinepolis VIP where you can watch a movie in sheer luxury with the snacks being served at your seat. After the movie we had a snack at the Food Court on the same floor.

Best time to visit the mall is during the festive season where the mall is all decked up and the shops offer many discounts. Sometimes you have celebrities to host a show or grace the occasions.

My TripAdvisor Review No.620: HiLite Mall, Kozhikode, NH66, Kerala.

Good Mall Break On National Highway 66.

We were travelling from Kochi to Kannur on NH66 and desperately need a refreshment and washroom break. HiLite Mall turned out to be a heaven sent break as we were getting increasingly travel weary.

The mall has a good underground parking lot. We had to pay ₹20 for the one time parking. The mall is fairly large and has all the well-known brands of clothing, footwear, jewellery, electronics, cell phones, accessories, furniture and what have you. There is a gaming zone for kids and youngsters named ‘Amoeba’, and a Snow Fantasy Land where they can chill out.

We headed straight to the Food Court on the top floor. They have the usual fast food chains like McDonald’s, Domino’s Pizza, Chic-King, Oh! Sandwich, Coffee shops and some Ice-Cream and Cold Drink outlets. There is a good supermarket, Malabar Fresh, where you can stock up on your groceries. However, there was no multiplex when we visited, but we heard that it is under construction in phase 2 of the expansion.

The three levels of the mall are well connected with escalators and elevators. The washrooms were clean and well maintained. We were glad to have stopped here and refreshed ourselves before driving on to Kannur.

My TripAdvisor Review No.588: Royal Centre, Vancouver, Canada.

Basement Food Court.

Royal Centre is a medium sized shopping mall in Downtown Vancouver adjacent to the Hyatt Regency Hotel and a short walk from The Burrard Skytrain Metro Station.

We had to catch our 'Epic Rides' bus to Whistler from Melville Street and had some time to spare so we entered the mall to have a bite in their Food Court. We had to go down to the basement. There were quite a number of good restaurants including a McDonalds, Starbucks and Tim Hortons. We went to the Subway outlet and shared a Veg Patty Burger between the two of us. The seating area was crowded and we had to share a long table.

There are some other shops and offices including the ICBC Government driver licencing centre, pharmacy and a yoga studio. There is a good underground paid parking lot belonging to the Hyatt Regency Hotel.

My TripAdvisor Review No.480: Rupert Square Mall, Prince Rupert, Canada.

Mall With A Walmart Store.

We visited the Rupert Square Mall just because Walmart had a presence here and we needed some groceries for our 5 day stay at Prince Rupert. There were some other prominent establishments as well but we only visited the Dollarama Store after buying a few things from Walmart. Shopper’s Drug Mart also has an outlet on the ground level.

The Mall is very near to the Rotary Waterfront Park and just off the Yellowhead Highway so the location is very good for people headed north to Alaska, or for those staying at Prince Rupert. Plenty of parking is available in the compound of the mall.

My TripAdvisor Review No.454: Amanora Mall, Pune.

Huge Mall Like A Giant Maze.

Amanora Mall is spread out over a large area in the township by the same name on the Mundhwa Haradpsar Road. The township is known as the Amanora Park Town, and the mall is known as Amanora Town Centre.

Most of the shops are spread out in low rise formats, and not in high rise floors like in most of the other malls. Hence one has to walk a lot to get from one shop to another which may be in another wing of the mall. One can easily lose one’s bearings and get lost, like in a maze. There is a huge basement parking lot and getting in and out from here can also be quite confusing. In addition, there are no parking attendants to guide you.

However, most of the well-known brands of garments, shoes, jewelry, furnishings, furniture, restaurants, spa, healthcare and fitness have their outlets here. Inox multiplex is also here to see the latest movies in town.

We visited the newly opened ‘Decathlon’ store to buy some sports equipment, the ‘Woodland’ shoe shop, and then went to ‘Big Bazar’ to buy some groceries and luggage.

One can visit on the weekends and spend the day with the whole family at the mall. There are joy rides like the toy train and double-decker bus where the kids can while away their time while the parents can shop till they drop. Then they can all have a meal at one of the many restaurants.

Multiplex Theater In Small Mall.

Gold Adlabs is now known as Carnival Cinemas. It is located in the Mariplex Mall at the junction where the bridge from Koregaon Park meets the Central Avenue Road of Kalyani Nagar.

It is a good multiplex where all the latest movies are screened. The halls are very comfortable with efficient air conditioning. On Wednesdays, the ticket prices are available at a discounted price.

There are some restaurants also located in the mall. McDonald’s and Onesta Pizza are some of the popular restaurants here.

My TripAdvisor Review No.285: Mantri Square Mall, Bengaluru.

Centrally located Mall with a Metro Station.

Mantri Square is one of the biggest malls in Bengaluru, centrally located in the Malleswaram area of the city. It has shops of some of the best known brands of clothes, footwear, jewellery, electronics, and more. There is also a multiplex and a food court. You can shop to your heart’s content, eat till your belly is full, and then go watch a movie to digest everything. In short you can enjoy a whole day in the mall.

We went there last evening for some shopping and then had some Chinese food at ‘Beijing Bites’ before seeing a movie at the Inox multiplex.

We took our car and found the area in front of the mall very congested. The traffic was crawling and we had some difficulty in maneuvering to the mall entrance. The parking charges were exorbitant at Rs.50 for the first 2 hours for a car, and increasing at the rate of Rs.20 per hour. They have a 2 tier parking system and can accommodate quite a number of vehicles.

In fact, it is better to go by the Metro rail as the mall has a metro station just next to it.
