The hotels on Legian beach would also suit your criteria, such as Bali Padma. The trick is to make sure the hotel you book is actually on the beach, not across the road or down the lane, otherwise you will be dodging motorbikes, peddlers, etc and worrying about your gear on the beach when you swim. The Bali Padma for example is walking distance to everything but far enough away to be very quiet at night.
