Nimar Villaggio
Superb value for money!! Tried to rebook again 2023 but fully booked. Immaculately clean, small pool, really friendly staff. Not a 5 star hotel but that's not what it purports to be! Showers could be updated as I hate shower curtains ha ha! Although we personally do not like quiz nights or bug sport TVs, it is there for those who do! Friendly bar area and great great great staff! Very close to busy North South ( East Coast) road but noise is not excessive and see the plus points..good cheap, clean regular buses take you up and down the coast. Pedestrian crossings 100 and 150mt away in either direction to walk to the wild unspoilt beach. This is not Faliraki and is not a resort as such....Afantou (real not resort) village is a taxi ride or 25 minute walk . The clue is in the name which means hidden....so it is on the hillside hidden from the sea (and historical plunderers! 
The 4km (?)  long beach is clean and has very clean basic toilets, a beach snack bar, ample free parking. The beach us vast and uncrowded with beautiful pebbly stones (beach shoes make life easy( and, depending where you are...gently or steep shelves..easy to ascertain as water immaculate. Loungers x 2 with parasol and small table 10-12 Euro per day and showers. For more beach life than the central beach walk East along road/beach and there are a few cocktail bars, more permanent structure bar and food, toilets and wide new roads with ample parking. More hotels etc and a couple of excellent fish Restaurants, boat hire etc. The little train from Afantou comes down this way from the village via the hotels etc and then runs along the beach road to the Golf Club end. Cost is 2 €uro per ride hopping on and off but €2 each time

Had our second stay at Nimar this year.Ged, Terry, Billy and the rest of the staff where brilliant. No problems getting sunbeds by the pool and rooms where cleaned daily and towels and bedding changed regularly. Overall a lovely stay.

Relaxed and chilled atmosphere 

What a fantastic 2 weeks stay. Welcome meeting with Ged and Terry was better than any weve had good tips and infomation and no trying to sell us any tripsLovely clean apartment with everything we needed in it. Had read reviews about tiny shower and curtain, easy remedy turn shower on with curtain closed turn shower off open curtain apply body wash close curtain and rinse off don't waste water.  Room cleaned regulary and bedding and towels changed  regularly which Ged explained at welcome meeting. Bar area Lovely and clean food very nice and plentiful. From 1st Sept to 13 Sept never had a problem getting a sun bed no matter what time day.  Supermarket and cafe 5 min walk, 20 min walk to beach for me,lovely sunbeds with deep cushions on near kantina. Always got a sunbed no matter what day. 2 lovely restaurant's 5 min walk away. Afandou 20 min walk away Lovely town plenty of eating places and bars.    Loved Geds Rubbish quiz such a lovely guy everyone friendly and joining in. Thanks to all staff. Terry,Billy,Ged missing your banter and to Dimmi and chef for working hard throughout the day.

Loved Everything GEDS A STAR

I stayed here with my friend in October of 2022. We were the youngest people staying here but we’re made to feel extremely welcome by all of the staff at nimar. The hotel is in a decent location with a bus stop just a 5 minute walk away going to mostly anywhere in rhodes. Upon arrival we were greeted with a glass of wine which I thought was a nice gesture. The hotel is intimate and friendly. The pool was clean, as was the restaraunt. The rooms( which were very spacious) are cleaned and tidied, with towels replaced every day except Sunday. The food here was very good, as was the selection of drinks, especially for the price. Irene was especially amazing at giving us a great stay, she was helpful, seemed genuinely interested in how everybody’s stay was going and even helped us in getting a bus timetable. Would definitely recommend you stay here, especially if you want a quiet and relaxing holiday

Amazing

Booked a last minute break to this small boutique hotel.  We had a really good time and met some wonderful people. All the staff were friendly and helpful and Jed certainly made us laugh. The rooms are basic but functional. The only comment I could add is probably the addition of a microwave for the self catering people.

Last minute break

What an amazing 11 nights we had. From start to finish, Jed, Billy, Terry, Irene, Poppy and Christina (hope I spelt those right!) treated us like family. It was such a different experience to any other holiday we’ve been on. We were lucky to also make some fantastic friends from Leeds. I do think getting all the guests together to have a free drink on arrival works wonders. 

We loved the quiz, the food, the pool and how the supermarket was just next door. Trips to Faliraki, Rhodes and Lindos were cheap, with Rhodes being our favourite. Rhonda beach bar was fantastic - we booked through Instagram and had the best time.

Whilst this isn’t a 5* hotel, it makes up for it in other ways and becomes a 5* experience. You switch off from the noisy road and can relax around the pool. There’s always free sunbeds and the pool was so cold, it was perfect, especially on the days with the heatwave. 

I’d really recommend going into Afandou town and eating in Sergios. The pizzas were unbelievable.

We paid £40pp for the Lindos boat trip through the TUI app and loved it. They picked us up outside of our hotel at 7:30. We had 3 hours to explore Lindos and we were able to jump off the boat into the sea in different spots. They even had floats for everyone.

& A big thank you to Ged and Billy for all of the laughs and late nights. We hope you enjoy your time away once the holiday season is over. 

From Jade & Lew x

LOVED it!!!

Arrived late....delayed. no problem welcome drink quick orientation chat then to your room. Spacious clean and has what you need. First night an uncomfortable one...not for the beds as they are fab but the heat. Air con bought! In my opinion and as a frequent visitor to Greece (4 times a year minimum) this was expensive. However.....the morning brings you to the bar/snack area and Irene who is absolutely lovely with a fab sense of humour.she will give you info on buses, places to visit, to eat etc can get you taxis(beware you pay a premium of about 4 euros ordering it) can get cigarettes delivered for you as the supermarket have very limited stock and choice. The pool area clean and well maintained.plenty of sunbeds in and out of the sun. Leave and you will find bus stops in either direction cheap as chips. Faliraki 1.80  each rhodes town slightly more. Lindos well worth a visit but go early is only 4 euros each. Afandou itself is a short walk. Go right under bridge its longer but a shallow gradient. Go right up by Oasis shorter but steeper....your choice! In the day its dead! Few bars....the evening its alive.... restaurants and bars all welcoming. skyliner is a drag up hill but the food was fantastic. In my opinion only Faliraki cheap shops tourist tat but long beach plenty of bars. Rhodes town more cultural more expensive shops and loads of history. Lindos old picturesque mix of tat and quality. Return after your day to Nimar and you will find Jed.... what a unique soul he is! I loved him... funny thoughtful helpful and accommodating. Do the quiz..... its badged as rubbish.... its not... it gets everyone together and some great friendships for us have been made. BBQ night not pushed enough.... excellent evening with amazing food. Poppy excels here.... sadly I found her lack lustre at other times. Ask for onion in your cheese  and ham toasties...no can do? The menu I know states breakfast until 12. I was late I asked for egg.on toast at 12.15 no....but then stood smoking and playing on her phone??? Shame.
Billy the owner is lovely and so friendly after days felt like I had known him years! Christina the cleaner, is just fab, the rooms were spotless and clean sheets and towels more regular than states. Nothing is too much bother in this place. I have read reviews and yes you can hear some road noise in the day but you soon stop noticing. As for the cicadas.... nature...their home....get on with it! Dogs, cockrell and other noise? Nope! Fun laughter friendship warm welcoming enjoyable ...yes! You could do a lot lot worse than this.... trust me! 

This place is what YOU make it.

We’ve just returned from a 2 week, 2 room stay, for 4 people. We’re not package holiday fans but were really pleasantly surprised by the overwhelming friendliness of all the staff, the cleanliness of the facilities, the central location on the east coast and everything in between.

Is this a 5* all inclusive hotel? No. But what you do get is the opportunity to get to know the hardworking staff really well, and to dip in and out of the various entertainment in offer, with no sense of pressure. We enjoyed the BBQ (getting to know other guests well - and not managing the quantity of good!) and a couple of quiz nights (Tequila Mockingbird - winners - just sayin’!)

Yes, the hotel is by the main road - yes, it’s busy - but, to be honest, after less than a day we switched off from the sound and we’re happy to take the positives (bus stops in both directions just outside, a main supermarket, 50m down the road, beach just over 10 minutes away -and it is a glorious, low populated, unspoilt stretch of coastline.) The cicadas are noisy - but Mediterranean- and you get used to them very quickly. We actually commented several times how peaceful it was - and we’re from rural Warwickshire! The pool is immaculate and there was no hint of sunbed wars - yes, some older couples did tend to “towel up” some beds, but everyone else just pootled down when they wanted to swim, and there was never a shortage - all are frontline to the pool, with a mixture of sunny and shady spots.

The kitchen isn’t open every night - but do make use of it as Poppy works so hard to produce economical tasty food. The rooms are comfortable - yes the shower is small, but they are set up as wet rooms so it’s no big deal. It’s easy to create a through draft, if you don’t want to pay for air con, and Christina is a delightful cleaner who works around your own plans for the day. Irene runs the daytime reception/bar and is effortlessly cheerful throughout. He’s a super softy Scouser - a real sweetheart whose charm is his ability to make everyone laugh at him and with him - take time to get to know him because he really is a lovely chap. Billy (and Terry) also can’t do enough to help and all together they give this small, unflashy hotel the most wonderful family feel.

Locally we enjoyed meals at The Old House (almost next door) and Bon Viveur (in the square in Alfandou town) for real Greek food with excellent service, and Sergio’s for some tasty Italian meals (although service was slower here.) We also ate in the hotel & never had a bad meal.

We were able to explore Rhodes from this central point - this is an 18+ hotel but it is more gentile than 18-30 (thankfully) with guests who generally respect that everyone is there to enjoy Greece, the people, the sunshine, the food/drinks, rather than parties/clubbing - but it is an easy bus ride/taxi to some busier resorts.

In short, we really enjoyed our stay. Fed, Billy and Christina in particular made us feel really special and we genuinely felt like part of the family. Thank you, Nimar Villagio for our Greek escape.

Felt like family, not a package holiday!

Brilliant stay from start to finish all staff make sure your holiday is best it can possibly be.arrived late at night were welcomed with a free drink and jedd made us a pizza explained about hotel and surrounding area we chose to pay for air con as very hot day and night in room paid tourist tax which was 6 euro for 2 people for 13 days room very spacious had 3 beds a kitchen a table and balcony room was cleaned every day but Sunday there is a large supermarket just to right of hotel and 2 restaurants to the left of hotel best was the old house amazing Greek food.did eat in hotel also many times very nice food and great value.pool is not massive but is very quiet so not many in pool and plenty of beds everyone got on round pool very friendly atmosphere best we have ever had on holiday.hotel is by busy road but did not spoil our holiday in any way.have to say big thanks to jedd Billy and all the staff for brilliant time will definitely be coming back big thanks john and Lorraine

Brilliant

This is our first visit back since covid and we were not disappointed. Fabulous homely feel where nothing is too much trouble for the amazing staff team here. Billy, Terry, Ged, Poppy, Christina and Eleni (not sure of spelling).

If you want a traditional Greek experience with a warm welcome definitely one to visit. Many people have returned here for a second time as you chat around the pool which speaks volumes in itself.

The apartments are basic, but very clean and come complete with a hairdryer.

The shower curtain is basic but the room acts as a wet room so it is not really needed.

Yes a little noise from the road but the charming cicadas take over that and it is barely noticeable.  

Quiz twice weekly. Team up and have fun. Good entertainment.

Barbecue nights weekly as well as traditional Greek specials prepared by chef Poppy.

There is a short walk to either the town or beach. The town has plenty of lovely places to eat in.

The local bus will allow you to easily access Rhodes town, Faliraki or Lindos  for a few Euros should you wish.  

Wi-Fi is available around the pool and in your rooms.

The island of Sami is also stunning and worth a visit.

Local supermarket close by for all your needs.

We will be back again.
