Canary Islands tourist description
This is followed by the virtues of the place describing why a person would want to visit there on vacation. My problem is specifically BISNAZO. Obviously it is something positive.

living here is amazing! / it´s amazing to live here! / this is an amazing place to live!
That´s how I would say it. It takes the "slang" out of the phrase (that makes it difficult for people of different regions/cultures to understand it), while still conveying the intended meaning.

It's a great business to live here
"bisnazo" equivale a "business" seguido del aumentativo "azo" en español, o sea un "gran negociazo", que castellanizado en jerga se convierte en "bisnazo".

Living here is the biz!
To keep the tone of the original and a related word.
Or even Living here is the bees knees! Which is also related.

A lot of the rest sound a bit "dogs bollocks" options. Need to know more about the target audience.
BTW, I hate "biznazo", as it looks and sounds naff. And "pelotazo" has acquired such a negative overtone in castellano nowadays that I'd think twice about using anything ending in "azo" other than brazo...
