In Reply to: 2 days in Ubud - enough posted by kuta4me on Thursday, 2. January 2014 at 10:18 Bali Time:
I stayed in Kuta for Nyepi in 2012 and didn't have any major problems. The day after Nyepi was a bit quiet, but I wasn't worried. Next day it was pretty much back to normal with only the odd shop here and there still closed.
As for Ubud - 2 days there is enough for me. I had 2 nights there in September and only ventured into town once. The rest of the time was spent relaxing at the villa I had overlooking the river gorge, just relaxing. Booked a week in Candidasa a few years ago and left after 3 nights as it was just way too quiet. I'm not the swimming or sunbaking type and there wasn't much else there to do. Luckily it was an Ebay voucher deal with a week for $99 so got more than the value in 3 nights anyway.
I quite like staying in Legian, but I do always have one or two nights elsewhere as well.
