Don't worry, there's really good security (almost too much) at most of the resorts and "hot spots" like Seminyek restaurant Ku De Ta. The island is in desperate need of more tourism and they're basically rolling out the red carpet for tourists. The native Balinese are so friendly and you'd be hard-pressed to have a bad (unsafe) time in Bali. My wife and I got lost in our recent trip in July and two guys who didn't know a lick of English helped escort us on their motorbikes to get back to a familiar area and grab a taxi. Such a great island, great people. You can't go wrong.
