The sellers, hawkers, transport people do make Kuta/Legian quite unpleasant. It's non-stop hassling from the minute you step foot out of your accommodation. And it IS bad on the beaches.
Some people don't mind it, feel it's part of the Bali experience. Others (like my husband) utterly loathe it and go to Kuta/Legian most reluctantly. Horses for courses. Seminyak is probably less hassly?
