We recommend staying in the quieter towns, where you can relax and take in the natural surroundings. Soak up the beauty of the rice fields rolling on the mountainsides in Ubud, or live in luxury along the coast of Legian.
Since Bali is such a popular tourist destination, many hotels and resorts offer airport transport and pick-ups. Just another thing that'll save you some planning and money.
