€100 to €170 a month depending on how mich power you use to cook and/or keep cool.

Their are 2 of us, We live in a 2 bedroom apartment in Torrevieja, our electric so far this year is on average 60 Euro per month, water is paid quarterly but works out at 15 Euro per month, Internet and TV is 30 Euro per month, we have no gas consumption, so a estimate of 105 Euro a month.

Hello, I just saw your post, we are looking at Roda Golf to buy as you have 3 bedroom for permanent living. We are retired and in our 70's but still able to get about. What are your impressions of the resort as a place to enjoy the sun and a quiet lifestyle. We are Aussies currently living in Cardiff looking for some 'permanent bluesky'

You also need to factor in community charges, IBI, and cost of a hire car

you will definitely need a car, Roda is a very long walk to the Supermarket, and even further to the beach. Google Earth it, and see for yourself.
