The hotel is family-run, with a nice atmosphere. The owners were very helpful and went out of their way to assist us with our travel arrangements. They spoke excellent English, and were entertaining and informative in their discussions about the country both now and historically. Breakfast was good - we had it outside in the well-kept garden.

There's a beach about ten minutes' walk away - the one called "Small Beach" is much cheaper for sun lounger rental than the one near to the expensive hotels more centrally-located. On that note, Motivi Hotel isn't in the centre of the resort, but I don't think that's too much of a problem for most people willing to walk a bit. The path near to the hotel isn't really lit at all, but it never felt dangerous.

Pretty much next door to the hotel is a small restaurant that isn't open particularly late, but serves good food at reasonable prices.

There's a bus stop the other side of the underpass near to the hotel, and frequent buses go by to take you into Varna (which is a lot more interesting than ss. Constantine & Helena).

The bus can get busy, and you should make sure that your valuables are kept out-of-sight and close to you during the journey - some theft could occur if you were distracted, as with many tourist places.

It's worth noting that in the Constantine & Helena resort, the most entertaining part is near to the monastery - it's signposted from most areas. There are lots of places to eat around there, and nightly shows featuring traditional singing and dancing.

Overall, it was a very good value stay, and I would recommend it to people who don't mind not being bang in the centre of things, or actively want to avoid the hustle and bustle in the centre.
