This place has such a beautiful atmosphere, the view is to die for. You could stay all day and be caught up in the picturesque sea, sky, shore and vegetation. The bar/restaurant is quaint and comfortable. Events can also be held there. It's the perfect chill spot to have a drink and relax!

THE VIEW!!!! I always liked this place. The wind is very nice and refreshing as you look for as far as your eye can see into the Caribbean sea.

Lovers leap Saint Elizabeth has an amazing ambience and friendly staff. Not only does it have an amazing scenery it also has a restaurant/bar. Although I didn’t go there to eat I did get a chance to try their jerk wings which I paired with a red stripe light delicious 😋.Lovers leap definitely gives you island vibes and I will definitely visit again. #travelwithlala

Envision the romantic tale of two African slaves forbidden to marry but so in love they jumped to their deaths rather than live life apart. A heart wrenching story to compliment a breath taking view from Jamaica's beautiful south shores. Complete with the highest (1800 meters) Light House and beautiful flowering Bougainvillas, this was a lovely side trip on our way to Alligator Pond. There is a bar and restaurant with both indoor and outdoor seating to take in the views.

This is a beautiful place to visit, scenery is spectacular.
Visited here in summer 2019 and was told there may be some changes, in my view management and service remains the same.
Food is freshly cooked and very tasty. However, food advertised on placard is not always available, notification given whilst waiting on the arrival of the food.
This is such a beautiful place and does feel more could be done in terms of customer service and attracting more people in.
I am against been charged for service (service charge) when this was not present.
Overall would recommend based on the scenery, history and food.

The story tells us that two slaves were to be separated by their master. Their love was too strong to allow that and they flung themselves over the Lover's Leap cliff into the Caribbean. The site is located in St. Elizabeth Parish on the rural South Coast of Jamaica. A statue memorializing their love is located outside of the restaurant at the site of Lover's Leap. It is a favorite place for weddings. In fact, they were setting up for a wedding while we had lunch. Lunch included typical Jamaican choices and portions were large. Although lunch was delicious but slow arriving, the best part was the scenery. The Caribbean Sea was at her best the day we visited, We were told there was a strenuous hiking trail down the cliffside, but it was two hours roundtrip and best used by the heartiest of hikers.
