Hi,

Is it correct to say:

"You will be suggested several activities such as scuba diving, horseback riding and ...."

The hotel staff will suggest several activities, such as scuba diving, horseback riding, and kayaking, to you.

Several activities, such as scuba diving, horseback riding, and kayaking, will be suggested to you.


HAVE A NICE DAY!
 
Thank you TheParser, but is my sentence wrong? Is it acceptable?

No, it's wrong (at least in AusE) and I would think in most other places as well.
