Pical Resort, Valamar Collection
By the Top3Hotels editorial team. Based on Booking.com guest scores and reviews, location data and reference prices. We did not stay at this hotel. Updated 2026-10-24.
Pical Resort is worth booking if you want the top-rated 5-star stay in Poreč, with a spa, pool and beachfront listing, and the budget allows about €275 a night. Skip it if price matters, because our other two picks cost roughly half or a third as much.

Pical Resort, Valamar Collection is our Luxury pick in Poreč. It is a 5-star resort and the highest-scoring hotel in our sample, at 9.6 out of 10 from 335 reviews. It suits couples and families who want a full resort with everything on site.
The property lists a beachfront position, a spa and wellness centre, a fitness centre, a pool, a restaurant, family rooms, a garden, a terrace, free Wi-Fi and air conditioning. Breakfast is a buffet with Italian, vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free options, which helps travellers with dietary needs.
Skip it if you are watching your budget. And keep in mind that 335 reviews is a smaller base than many of our picks, so a handful of new reviews can move the score.
Location and getting around
The resort is at Pical 2, in the Borik area of Poreč. Guests rate the location 9.8 out of 10, the strongest of its scores. The Euphrasian Basilica is about 1 km away, roughly 13 minutes on foot by our straight-line estimate.
The beachfront position comes from the property's own facility list. We have not verified the exact layout, so check the map and photos to see how close your room is to the water. Parking is not listed in our data, so confirm it if you are driving.
What guests say
Our data does not include summarised guest likes or dislikes for this resort. What we do have is the score: 9.6 out of 10 across 335 reviews, plus a 9.8 for location. That is an outstanding result, but it does not tell you what guests praise or criticise.
Before booking, read a sample of recent reviews yourself. Look for comments on room size, noise, the spa and breakfast, since none of these have been assessed by us.
Price and how it compares with our other Poreč picks
Our reference price was €275 per night for 2 adults, about €550 for two nights. It is a reference price seen for a 2-night stay in November 2026, not a live quote. Check today's price for your dates.
That is a big step up. Hotel Parentium Plava Laguna, our Best Value pick, is a 4-star hotel at €140 a night with a 9.1 score. Boutique Hotel Melissa, our Budget pick, also has 4 stars and was €89.25 a night with an 8.3 score. Pical Resort costs about twice the Best Value pick. What you pay for is the fifth star, the top score and a resort-style list of facilities.
Why it made our top 3
We compared 6 eligible hotels in Poreč. Pical Resort ranked first on guest score among them. Our Luxury rule gives priority to 5-star hotels, and this one has an official 5-star rating.
The combination of the highest score in the sample, a 9.8 location score and a full set of facilities made it the clear Luxury choice.
Before you book

Spa, pool and restaurant availability, opening times and any fees must be checked for your dates. In November, ask which facilities are open and whether outdoor areas are in use. Read recent reviews too, since our data has no guest comments to draw on.
