I have been to Bali 9 times and travelled and lived extensively throughout SE Asia. Always use the room safes, always use ATM's NEVER carry large sums of money ANYWHERE EVER! That's just me! Never been robbed,pickpocketed, stuff stolen from safe etc. Stay at Kumala Pantai and use any banks close by. Understand OP said there are no banks in Balian - so maybe withdraw some money for that part of the trip. "safe" travels !! And Yes I have been very lucky indeed.
