help me with my english?

ok, so i need to write a letter to a friend who is going on holiday that i have been on i need to advise them stuff and not recommend them stuff (dos that make sense?) anyway can you check it please and make it more friendish but something thats gets me a high level but at the same time not to sound too tour guidish, thx I have recently heard that you are going on holiday to Spain, Majorca, as I have visited the island many times, I shall recommend some lovely places you can visit while you’re on your stay. It’s a pleasant island with friendly people and I hope you enjoy it. I have stayed at many hotels but so far the best was probably Panoramic Hotel in Alcudia, apart from their outstanding service, great entertainment and an excellent range of food, the hotel is also situated in a nice secluded cove. If you’re looking for nice large pools and spacious rooms with air conditioning, you may want to try the Clumba Mar hotel in Can Pica Fort as it have great pools, one of which have just been built. For the restaurants, I recommend a lovely restaurant called Monaco, in Can Pica Fort, it has an excellent menu, serving fine Spanish cuisine examples of the fine food includes fresh grilled squid, large grilled sardines and of course there’s also Spain’s national dish paella. There is also a wonderful cafe/restaurant called Oasis on the beach front of Can Pica Fort, it has wonderful entertainment and also serves a large range of Spanish dishes and drinks. There are many fantastic restaurants/cafes in Majorca and I highly recommend you try them out. Although they have delicious Spanish cuisine, I wouldn’t advise you to eat foreign food in Majorca as they seem to be more experienced their Spanish dishes. You may wish to visit the market that travels around Majorca which visits most of the resorts and sells a range of clothing, leather goods, arts and crafts etc. In Spain you may want to avoid shopping at around 2-4pm as the Spanish like to have their fiesta between those hours. I have also been to a giant carting track in Majorca, this is the biggest cart track in the whole of Majorca, it is very fun and it also has a lovely cafe very near it. If you’re looking for a fun time I highly recommend you come and try this cart track out. Have a pleasant time. btw do i sound too much like a tour guidE?

1. I think it is very good but maybe, since it is an informal letter to a friend, you should try and make it a bit more colloquial. Possible include a little (and do keep it short) story about an event that happened when you were there. It is very good already though and I am sure you will get a good grade
2. from 2-4 do they have a fiesta or a siesta? the first is a party the second is a nap can you give an idea of what paella is, they might not know "in Can Pica Fort as it HAS (not have) great pools, one of which HAS just been (not have) been built." "they seem to be more experienced (with) their Spanish dishes." sounds good to me! hope this was a help
3. I have recently heard that you are going on holiday to Spain, Majorca. I have visited the island many times and I am happy to recommend some lovely places for you to visit during your stay. This island is occupied by pleasant and friendly people and I hope you will enjoy your vacation. I have stayed at many hotels on the island, but I do believe that the best hotel was the Panoramic Hotel in Alcudia. Apart from their outstanding service, great entertainment and an excellent range of food, the hotel is also situated in a nice secluded cove. If you’re looking for nice large pools and spacious rooms with air conditioning, you may want to try the Clumba Mar hotel in Can Pica Fort. It has great pools, one of which is brand new. For restaurants, I recommend a lovely restaurant called Monaco, in Can Pica Fort. This restaurant has an excellent menu, serving fine Spanish cuisine. Some examples of the fine food include fresh grilled squid, large grilled sardines and of course there’s also Spain’s national dish paella. There is also a wonderful cafe/restaurant called Oasis. it is located on the beach front of Can Pica Fort. The Oasis Restaurant has wonderful entertainment and also serves a large range of Spanish dishes and drinks. There are many fantastic restaurants/cafes in Majorca and I highly recommend that you try them out. Although all of the cafes and restaurants have delicious Spanish cuisine, I would not advise you to eat foreign food in Majorca. Majorca seems to offer more Spanish dish specialties. You may wish to visit the market that travels around Majorca. The market travels and visits most of the resorts and sells a range of clothing, leather goods, arts and crafts etc. In Spain you may want to avoid shopping between 2:00 pm and 4:00 pm . The Spanish like to have their fiesta between those hours. I have been to the giant carting track in Majorca. This is the biggest cart track in the whole of Majorca. This is very fun! There is a lovely cafe very near the area. If you’re looking for a fun time I highly recommend you come and try this cart track out. I know you will have a pleasant time and enjoy your visit in Majorca!
