    This is where I stayed in Ubud, a place called Cendana Resort.  It is expensive by Bali standards, but it has a special setting.  It is right on the main road, but set back and surrounded by rice fields.  The soundscape here is truly breathtaking - frogs, cecadas, geckos, waterfowl, roosters, and stray dogs all have parts in the nightly concert.  There is a pool and spa on the premises as well, where you can get a message on a private outdoor veranda while being serenaded by the surround-sound of creatures vying for their mates.
