Bumi Ayu is excellent, plenty about it in the archives and if the budget stretches that far it's hard to beat.. not sure about Wilsana - if it is the one next to Swastika and price is equal I would go for Bumi Ayu. Swastika itself is also very nice and around $20US walk-in, plenty of info also avail if you search but great value for the $ with 2 lovely pools . Both are not beachside but on the parallel main road which means good shopping , and easy to cut through one of the other hotels to the beach, just takes a few mins and always room for a bintang on the way to help with the heat ...:-)
Have not seen Puri Kelapa except in the brochures, it's in the south area .. saw some posts which suggested it needed a good clean but if David_UK stays there then maybe not .. without checking out websites, I think all these are in the middle sized range , maybe around 40-60 rooms
