Depends what you call budget, but I have stayed twice at Resor Prima and will stay there again. Clean comfortable double room, aircon, fridge, TV, ensuite with hot and cold water and Western style toilet. Pleasant garden with pool. Right on a good white sand beach [unusual for Candi Dasa], with close live coral reef for low key snorkeling. Modest cooked breakfast included. Asking price last August 150,000 for the room [2 people]. Try to bargain if you are staying a few days or more.
A few minutes walk down a narrow sealed road through the palm and banana groves just past Legend Rock Cafe at the Amlapura end of town. Just one small restaurant in that area, Warung Pini, owned and run by Wayan, one of the nicest ladies you would ever meet. Very reasonable prices.
Good reasonably priced driver operates out of Puri Oka Cottages next door to Resor Prima. Wayan Manek [Nick] ph 081 8353501.
When in town another very reasonable restaurant is Warung Puspa.
