YS Falls is the most beautiful of the waterfalls attractions available from Negril Jamaica. The trip is a bit of a drive but its well worth it when you compare the majestic beauty of the YS Falls to others such as Mayfields. The falls at YS are larger and taller and the overall beauty and power of this huge river... more

The trip from Negril is max 2 hours but you can get there quicker if you drive fast. The falls and surrounding scenery is very beautiful. You can swim in a man made pool at the base or in certain designated areas going up the river. There is a rope jump you can take out that is free that basically... more

We had a great time here. It was so beautiful and peaceful that this was the highlight of our holiday. My kids and husband were very brave and stood underneath the waterfall while I nestled into some rocks and let the cool water flow over me. We spent some time in the pool which was great as the water came... more

Why people go to Jamaica and stay in their hotels is beyond me . It realy is the most fantastic place . You can go with the crowds and see Dunns River Falls or you can make the effort and go to the pristine YS . By going to the YS Falls you will also get a chance to see... more

I will first start out by saying that the bus ride to the falls from our hotel was almost 2 hours it was a long ride nice to see what the country of Jamaica looks like but it was a really long ride and we only got to explore and be at the falls for about a hour. The ride... more

My husband and I went to YS Falls in June 2008 and combined it with The Pelican Bar for a day trip. We used Talk of the Town to arrange this trip and they are great about trying to help you find other people to go with you to save money on the transportation. This is a relaxing little place... more

This waterfall is absolutely beautiful and pristine. Unlike Dunn's Falls, not many tourists make it out here, so you can actually enjoy the waterfall. There are a series of falls and you can climb up stairs on the side to get to different falls. Guides will help you swim behind falls, jump off rocks, and pose for pictures. When we... more

Staff was very friendly and seemed to enjoy their job just as much as we enjoyed being there! I slipped under the water and couldn't seem to come back up. A lifeguard (Omar Morris) quickly jumped in and pushed me up! A second lifeguard led me safely out of the water so I could recover. This happened last year Summer... more

Absolutely beautiful! Take a dip in the falls, or relax in the natural pools. If you dont feel like getting wet, the view itself is completely worth the trip! more
