Descriptive adjectives – Brochure language

A STAY IN PARADISE

This holiday complex is within reach of the bar and the sea.  There are four tennis courts available to guests and the Sandy Lane Golf Club is just a bus ride away.

Hale Town exudes an atmosphere with its streets and houses.  Watch the world go by from the café terraces or sample dishes in the restaurants.

In this case you need to add descriptive adjectives to the text below.  Decide which adjectives to include and where to place them.  Remember that the idea is that the text sounds more appealing to tourists.

TANGIER

Tangier with its bazaars and architecture provides a taste of the Orient.  It has sporting facilities, including golf, tennis and sailing.  Water-ports can be enjoyed along its coasts which have beaches.  You can try your luck in the casino or window-shop down the boulevards of the quarter.  The Mendoubia Gardens, a palace and antiquities are just some of the attractions that Tangier has to offer.
