...you're going for Freogal, but maybe the whole time up in Ubud might be a bit too long??? What about spending time in both?
I'd probably go Sanur if I had to choose between the two. Wouldn't even bother staying in 'the dark side' (Kuta/Legian) at all. Too rowdy, touristy and expensive.
Sounds like you know Ubud pretty well. Do you know Sanur at all?
I usually spend a week in both. I like Ubud/Sanur because of the more relaxed feel...not so hyped. Smaller more personal hotels/resorts also...but that's me.
I'm sure you could get a nice-ish 2br villa in Sanur for less than $200.
Keep looking. I'm sure something will jump out at you.
Maybe look under 'BnB's and Inns' or 'Other accomodations'.
Hope this helps.
