Agree not much to do in CD itself except eat, sleep, swim in hotel pools and read books. Several good restaurants. However if you're doing a trip out there about 10km before you reach CD is the bat temple, worth a visit. North of CD is the traditional village Tanganan (turn left 1km before CD proper. You can take a boat trip around the islands from the mouth of the lagoon(eastern end of CD). About 10km east of CD is the town of Amlapura with a good market. South & North of Amlapura are water palaces built by the last(?) king of the region. One at Ujung, one at Tirtagangga.
