They are located on the east coast of Bali - a very quiet and beautiful area. There are many wonderful places to stay and snorkeling is the 'big' thing there. October should be fine and hot. If night life is important then the Kuta area is a must, however to experience the 'real' Bali some time in Ubud, Candi Dasa and Lovina is advised. Candi Dasa is a great launching place for the east coast. I recently visited a 'white sand beach' at Perasi near Candi Dasa and snorkeling is available there.
