We stay at Aquaria & use CD as a base to explore the East Coast. There is plenty to do & we much prefer it to the over-developed South:
Amed for snorkelling off the beach
Tirtanangga water palace
Padangbai & Blue Lagoon
White Sand Beach (Pasir Putih?)
Trekking thru rice paddies
Tenganan
Take a bemo to Amlapura local market
Safari Park is reachable as a day trip
We eat at Aquaria & Le48. Really enjoyed Sea Salt last year, but didn't quite justify the price this time.
CD town is quiet, but the usual tourist tat is available without the hassle to buy.
