Normally I would say wing it. But not now. Book anything anywhere for the first night or 2. The comment about having to sleep on the beach is not as absurd as it sounds. Husband has had reports from surfers returning to Bali having to actually do so. I spent countless hours last week trying to get any standard of accommodation in Bali for him for tonight & tomorrow night - finally got somewhere in Sanur.
If you have your own vehicle then going from hotel to hotel in Ubud would be OK - but not if you have to walk as they can be far apart.
Good luck:)
