We all had a great 50th for a friend at this hotel. Unfortuneately no swim up bar or inexpensive cocktail, but you are really close to all the bars, fun and nightlife a short walk up the road. On the other end of the scale is the Bali Holiday Resort. Havent been there in years, but great beachfront location. It needed a revamp years ago, so I dont know what its like now.
You might also want to consider Sanur. Hotels like Besahki, Respati, Gazebo, all moderately priced, all beachfront and really close to loads of bars and restaurants. For a big group, close walking distance to lots of different activities.
