We stayed at the Watergarden in Candidasa a few weeks ago and loved it! The cottages at the back (we had #12 ) are also nice as you are at the top. The people who work there are soo nice, the food in their restaurant is good. The gardens or ponds make the place...
The Lotus Bungalows looked a bit run down.
We went snorkeling with a boat...ask for Nemo which is the boat we took..its across the street from the Water garden a little to the left and on the water...the driver was so sweet and took us to Blue Lagoon and snorkelled with us...his cousin ended up being our driver to Amed and Sideman...cheaper if you arrange all this yourself.
Our friends stayed a bit out of town at Alilla...beautiful place, more expensive great food.
Look at Astri...fixed prices and you may find something there.
As far as Ubud..we loved Hotel Tjamphuan and if you can afford a night or 2 at Pita Maha its the most beautiful I have ever seen.
have a fun trip
