Depends on your budget and what you like in a hotel. At the lower end of the price range (150,000 Rp) I would recommend the Kelapa Mas for simple cheap rooms set around a large garden, very friendly staff and access to a small beach where the fishing boats bring in their catch (no swimming pool though). Rama Ocean View is out of town a bit (but an easy walk) and has excellent facilities and a nice ocean view but is sometimes 'invaded' by bus tours. Kubu Bali has really nice rooms and gardens, a great swimming pool that was usually deserted except for us, good food at the restaurant overlooking the pool, BUT really steep steps and the better rooms are up higher.
You can easily have a look around when you get there and negotiate a price as most places have low occupancy. Let us all know if you find something special!
