Candidasa is a nice quiet spot and a great base for daytrips. Lots of neat stuff nearby. My wife and I have been going there since 1985. Best thing is to hook up with a good driver who knows the area. They are very reasonable, and can take you places that you would never see. If you like, we can certainly recommend a great driver who works in CD.
Ketut is very safe driver ( a lot better than many of the taxi drivers), has a good command of English, and has a very good sense of humour which kept us thoroughly entertained during the trip. We have used him many times, and would highly recommend KETUT SUDIARTA as a driver. His rate is very reasonable at 400,000 rp for all day (includes petrol)0bviously much less if it's 1/2 day or less. His phone number is 081 239 32604, and email Canditransport@hotmail.com.
We have recommended Ketut to several friends who have visited Bali, and all raved about his service! A good guy!
