Don't know your age, but me and wife tried the UBUD stay and realized that it was way to quiet for our taste. We couldn't wait to get back to KUTA beach. It's nice to get out of the hotel and be able to walk around restaurants, buildings, bars, beach huts, vendors, malls, civilization. Night life is great around Kuta. Out in the places you describe sounds quite boring to me. Sounds like ALL HOTEL. FOR ME, KUTA is where its at and KUTA BEACH only. The rest is good for a day trip. Gotta check out the BARONG DANCE. That is a must. Just a cab ride away to the show. It will blow your mind. Gotta hit it early, I think especially on SUNDAY'S so check around. I would stay out of the market in DENPASAR. I found the vendors rude and loud when you don't buy anything from them. Don't let the cabbies take you there. I bought a motorcycle helmet in Bali, it looked like a GERMAN helmet. It only cost me two bucks. You see everyone wearing them on mopeds and motorbikes. You'll see stands full of them on the sides of the roads. I recommend you visit the grocery store in Bali, and buy lots of coffee. It's the best there. And remember. BUTTERFLY BRAND. The good coffee there is stamped with the BUTTERFLY to show that its approved by the government as gourmet coffee.
