Don't worry about the hawakers, just ignor them. Poppies can be a little spooky at night but it is quite safe. Try the Kuta Seaview on the beach. Go down poppies lane to the beach and turn left.It will cost you about $AUD90. But you must bargain with them quietly for a better price. Has aircond ,Great pool. Here you are right on the beach and are close to everything. You will still get hassled by the hawkers but thats Bali.
Good luck.
