I would love to have two in-suite rooms opposite or adjacent to each other, preferably close to the elevator. I would also
like for at least one of the rooms to have a view of the sea from its balcony
In addition
, what will be the price for such
accommodation? Also
what places of interest are around the resort area? Moreover

I am looking forward to your favourable response.

coherence cohesion
Your letter follows a generally logical structure, but clearer paragraphing with distinct themes in each paragraph would enhance the readability and organization.
coherence cohesion
A suitable greeting and closing are used, but consider using 'Dear Sir or Madam,' when you do not know the name of the person you are writing to, for a more appropriate formal tone.
coherence cohesion
Keep each paragraph focused on a single idea, while your paragraphs tend to center around a main idea, the clarity can be improved by being more concise and avoiding additional questions within the same paragraph.
task achievement
The response completes the task, covering all bullet points, however, providing more detail and elaboration on each point could enhance the response.
task achievement
The writing tone is appropriate for the context of the letter; it is formal and polite, which is suitable for the task. You have successfully conveyed respect and anticipation for the hotel's reply.
