You will be going to Ubud as you must.
The Lotus cafe in Ubud is connected to a big temple and they often have performances on the stage near the lotus ponds.
It's a great sigh in an awesome setting. One of the best in bali.
Get one of the tables on the right hand side, you sit on mats in a raised pavilion, with a good view of the shows.
Also the attached hotel, Puri Saraswati, has an upstairs room that over looks the whole temple/ pond complex.
So you get a free show while sitting on your verandah eating take out from the nearby Japanese restaurant (well thats what I do)
Also I think one of the best views from a room in Bali.
