Welcome to the forum Canuck.There are many people on this forum who have vast experience.It is worth reading the experiences they have had. Scroll through the history on the site.I would suggest you look up on the internet (dons bali virgin guide)it is very helpful.
I have always booked a few nights accom before I arrive so you have a base to settle into and then look around. Accommodation rates are better after Jan in alot of cases.I am staying in Sanur myself late Feb at Savita Sanur Cottages Hotel which is mid range. There are many more like this and if you look up Agoda Hotels or Trip advisor you will get rates and reviews from past travlers who have stayed at these Hotels and others all over Bali.Internet rates are pretty close to the mark.
Have a great holiday and respect the culture of the island and it's wonderful people.
