Riverback Sanctuary

“Our stay at Riverback Sanctuary in Liwliwa, Zambales was one of the most peaceful trips me and my hubby had. It feels like you’re completely away from the busy beach scene, surrounded by nature and calm river vibes, yet everything in Liwliwa is still so easy to walk around. The location was honestly perfect — quiet enough to relax, but still close to the cafés, beach spots, and the friendly local community that makes Liwliwa so special. […] If you’re looking for a stay that gives both serenity and easy access to the Liwliwa vibe, this place is definitely worth it for couples who just want to unwind and enjoy quality time together.”

“We had a wonderful 3-day stay at Sam & Bibe’s Hut Airbnb. Everything stated in their accommodation description was completely accurate and honest. The place is peaceful and quiet […] We also loved being welcomed by their friendly dogs, which made the place feel even more homey and private. The location is also very convenient, with famous food spots, convenience stores, and the beach just a short 5–10 minute walk away depending on your pace. […] Overall, it was a warm, relaxing, and enjoyable stay. Thank you, Sam and Bibe, as well as your kind caretakers, for the warm hospitality throughout our stay.”

“Literally a sanctuary. Went to Zambales for peace and quiet and that’s all i had during my stay at Sam and Bibe’s place. It’s near all the famous cafes and resto strips but far enough from the noise. The cabin’s cozy, perfectly described too. There’s wifi and cctv in our cabin. They even provided basic necessities such as towels, shampoo, and soap. Ambiance is so nice and i love being greeted by their dogs — Mr. Chow, Balut & Talong haha friendliest babies. Such a perfect place especially for couples and friends! Totally would come back and book their place again.”

“Spent our holy week here and it was very relaxing. It was way too hot to go to the beach, so we pretty much just stayed in the property. Our kids enjoyed climbing trees and playing with the locals and animals …while us parents relax on the hammocks, listening to the birds.. so many different kinds of birds! 🐦 Sam and Bibe were super helpful. 🙏”

“Had such a lovely stay! Ate Bibe and Kuya Sam were incredibly kind and accommodating, making everything feel easy and comfortable. Their dogs Mr. Chow, Balut, and Talong were super friendly and added so much charm to the place. The area is peaceful, perfect for rest and slow days. Clean space, relaxing vibe, and overall a great experience. Highly recommended!”

“Sam was a wonderful host—super lovely to chat with and made me feel very welcome from the start. The place is peaceful and far from the madding crowd (lol), perfect if you’re looking to truly disconnect and unwind. The pond right in front is such a gem—refreshing to swim in and just beautiful to look at any time of day. The whole vibe of the place is laid-back, simple, and full of charm. Sam and Bibe clearly put care and intention into creating a special space, and it really shows. I left feeling recharged and grateful for the experience. Would absolutely come back!”

“We had a great and peaceful stay at Sam and Bibe’s. It was exactly what we were looking for to unplug and destress. The place was serene, and our cabin was neat and tidy. The bamboo bridges looked intimidating at first but they were sturdy, and you’ll get the hang of it quickly. The hosts were very accommodating. They even offered a tour to the nearby waterfalls and suggested the best places to visit in the area. One of the best stays we’ve had. Definitely recommend!”
