Very subtle differences.
Suggest - less forceful, more like 'if you'd like to, I would suggest...'
Advise - more emphasis on the instruction given. 'I would advise you to avoid the rocks near the water'
Recommend - pretty interchangeable with suggest but has implied meaning that you like something 'I recommend watching that movie'
Hope that helps.
