Me and my wife are going there in november as well for 3 weeks. it is our first trip too but i have done extensive research on the place. since you girls are there for only 5 days, it depends what kind of a experience you want. if you want a more local xp , stay in ubud. if party scene is what you are after stay in canggu or seminyak area which are closer to the beach down south coast.
