Actually, I think the Olumo Rock is more of a clever marketing scheme devised in 2003 when the park officially opened. Yes, slaves from the Abeokuta region of Nigeria did name a large rock formation behind the Great House the "Olumo Rock" from a somewhat similar rock formation that is historically and religously significant in their home country. The name "Abeokuta" means "below the rock" so naturally the park adopted that name. The rocks are similar as to having small caves where people could hide but the composition of the rocks is completely different.


We hiked to the rock formation and hung out marveling at the vast Dean's Valley below. Mitzy and Owen are no longer the owners but the park is a wonderful place to chill out for a day and the water may not be actually healing anything but one's desire to escape Negril for a day!
