venture out to stay a night or two here and there, if we feel like it, for eg. up to Ubud, maybe Medewi this year.... We find it easier to base ourselves in one place, but we have little kids! It is just as cheap to do it once you are over there... just negotiate the best price on the spot with them.
Some people book a week somewhere and then a week somewhere else, or whatever time you are staying there.
I think you'd be right to find accommodation once you got over there, there are sooooo many hotels to choose from. Although I kind of like the idea of getting off the plane and knowing you can go straight to the hotel and straight to the pool rather than searching around to find somewhere to stay first up.
Maybe you can book a cheap package with a few nights accommodation to start you off and then look around whilst you are there?
Have fun!
