Solution

The sentences that are correct in terms of grammar and usage are:

  1. "The lobby of the hotel was a small white building set at the centre of two dozen beautiful bungalows that sprawled down a hill towards the clear blue sea."
  2. "The Mellises had the Noel Bungalow, with its own swimming pool."

The sentence "and a maid to prepare their breakfast, they ate in the open-air dining room" is incorrect because it is a run-on sentence. It could be corrected by adding a conjunction or breaking it into two sentences. For example: "They had a maid to prepare their breakfast and they ate in the open-air dining room." or "They had a maid to prepare their breakfast. They ate in the open-air dining room."
