Phase 1 fees vary by plot size, I own a ground floor end apartment which for my sins is the most expensive (as its the total size of living and patio) and for 2010 my community fees are c€400 per quarter. Resortalia have been renegotating contracts over the last 6 months after taking over from PW. This is going well, a number of costs are coming down but not yet reflected in the fees, this is due to some settlements that need finalising where PW paid for some costs before Resortalia were able to collect fees and some quality of service issues from PW that Resortalia are quite rightly refusing to pay for.
I have to say that Resortalia have been great so far and sure things will improve further
There is also a view that when Phase 2 comes on line some cost like gardening may be pro-rata across the whole Resort, as well as P1 currently taking the brunt of high security costs needed to cover off the newer developments on the resort.
So - certainly higher than I expected but optimistic they will come down over next 12 months
The Resort is going to be good, after 6 trips since completing in Feb 2009, I am confident it will live up to my expectations in the long run, noone could predict the impact of such a financial crisis we are still in.
