This was a great place to stay with toddlers. So much water for them to play in without having to worry about them being in to deep. There is a lot of lounge chairs and tables to find seating. The actual hotel need an upgrade and the rooms seem wet/ moist. There is a little light show that is nice to walk and see the water at night. read more

We brought our two kiddos to stay here for the weekend while my husband was on a business trip. He worked while we enjoyed the waterpark- which is the best thing about this place! It feels really clean, safe and family friendly. Even on 4th of July weekend, because only guests can use it, the waterpark wasn't packed at all. We would stay again just for the private waterpark! With that said, the food was not good at all. The breakfast at the Oasis grill was okay! But overall food here is sooo overpriced and not worth it. The second day we ended up doing a grocery run and packing lunches. Bonus is that they let us bring in food/drinks into the pool area. So overall we LOVE this resort as a hotel with an amazing pool but will not eat at the restaurants lol Good thing there are lots of restaurants around it, Waffle House, fine dining etc, and grocery stores also. read more

The grounds are really nice along with the waterpark area, arcade, etc but the hotel rooms could use a little work. The A/C doesn't work much & when we called at 9:12 last night we were told someone would come check it out but never did. The shower still had some hair in it from the previous person that stayed in the room & this may sound petty but no vent in the bathroom so it's constantly hot whether you're taking a shower or not. Hate to sounds petty but I guess it could be worse but could also be better. read more

This was an incredible quick trip for our family of four. The grounds were beautiful. Employees were friendly. The value is outstanding. The water park is for guests only. After a full day of waterslides and the lazy river. We grabbed an ice cream at the sweet shack and enjoyed the dancing water show in the evening before heading back to the room with a hot pizza from the Oasis grill. Can't wait to head back! read more

Kids (6 and 4) loved the water park, lazy River, slides, and pool. Unfortunately the staff is not welcoming, friendly, or knowledgeable. Several times we asked questions to different staff members about the property, restaurants, closing times and no one seemed to know anything. Evening shift pool bartenders were inattentive and just rude. I once sat at the. At by myself for 5 minutes while the two bartenders looked at me and talked amongst themselves. They didn't ever acknowledge me so I left. Room was clean but had a bit of a musty smell. The double queen room was tiny. The bathroom could not fit one person comfortably. read more

Let me start by saying that the pool & bar area are so much fun! My daughter really enjoyed the water slides. The bartenders were phenomenal. The food at the Oasis Grill is wonderful also. With that being said, the people who work at the grill could use some help as they are slammed & can't keep up after 6:30. There was one night when the waitress took our order & had a major attitude problem but I didn't take it personally as she was the only one working. Now onto the hotel rooms themselves- they are awful. Dirty, ants & spiders everywhere & water stains galore. The first king suite they tried putting us in had water marks, mold & a horrible mold smell. As soon as we walked in I called the front desk to report the findings & the lady who answered the phone acted like this was completely normal. They moved us to a different room that was much smaller & still had water damage to the ceiling but it was livable. I've attached pictures of our first moldy room. We would go back for the pool area but I will inspect our room first. Hopefully they can fix all the water damage & spray for bugs. read more

Very shady business practices. I booked this hotel for my daughters' dance convention as it was recommended by the dance studio as a hotel that the majority of the dancers would be staying at. I called hotel to inform them we were driving in thru inclement weather and wouldn't be arriving until after midnight. I asked the phone representative would that be fine and she stated yes that would not be a problem. I even paid for the first night at the hotel. I arrive at the hotel at 7:00am due to traffic delays and storming and flooding. The hotel front desk attendant tells me my reservation was canceled and I was marked a "no show" even though I already paid for the night. They would not let me stay for the rest of my reservation stating they were completely booked. So basically they took my money for Friday night and still sold my room to some else for Friday night. Even though I was still booked for Saturday and Sunday. My family and I were stranded after driving almost 12 hours in a storm. The only explanation the front desk lady could give was because I didn't give a specific arrival time and only said the words after midnight they canceled it. I would never recommend this hotel. Who knows what other shady business practices they do for extra money. Book at your own risk. I would Stay away. I could have seen if I didn't call the hotel in advance but marking me as a no show when I called to verify I wouldn't be marked as a no show is insane. read more

Strawberries!?!?! There must be something up with this place and strawberries. I opened my mini fridge to place a bag of food into it only to find later the bag sticking to the glass shelf. Upon further inspection, I came to the conclusion that it was a strawberry glaze of some sort. Instead of calling the desk about it, I went ahead and cleaned the shelf myself. I kinda found it funny, especially since there are other reviews for this place that mention strawberries. In all, this resort has only been opened for one month and it does have potential. This is a family oriented place, so expect children, everywhere. This includes the swim up bar area. You'd think they'd be hanging out at the complimentary water park that is on the property. Ah well, just expect it. There are no TV's at the pool bar. Kinda sucked for me, cause it'd been nice to watch the football games while chilling in a pool at a bar. On the ceiling of the bar were two cable outlets... I'm very surprised that they have not yet made use of them. If I was employed there, I'd be all over that quick fix. I slept in a king suite which was pretty nice. The AC ran quietly. It does have a Bluetooth thermostat located on a table and not on the wall. The bathroom light switch in my room was located awkwardly on the hinged side of the door. Took me a second to find it. As I said, this place has potential, but for now it's quirky and needs to work them all out. read more

The food is absolutely awful. We had lunch by the pool yesterday and got the shrimp appetizer and the nachos. The chips or so stale it was like they were cooked the day before and left out overnight and reheated in old grease. We gave it another shot this morning and came to breakfast and that was even worse. By the time The food was brought to us it was all cold the best thing was the French toast. The pot roast was absolutely disgusting and flavorless. The whole establishment is severely understaffed due to people not wanting to work from Covid. The staff that is working is doing the best they can but unfortunately the service is suffering tremendously because of it. The pool and lazy river are great. And our room at the Centennial Plaza is very nice. However as far as the restaurant I would recommend eating off property. read more

The front desk staff members were rude and not customer friendly. The African American lady was extremely rude and did not greet the customers. She acted as if we were bothering her. It wasn't racial as she acted like this with everybody. Even if the staff members are working with someone, they could at least acknowledge new guest and say "one minute ". The rooms were extremely clean. The grounds are clean .The food was great! read more

Before Hurricane Katrina this was the Veterans Retirement facility/campus. After the devastation of the Hurricane, the building was left vacant and in disrepair. So...imagine my surprise to see that this property was renovated and upgraded to a very CLEAN and comfortable lodging option. This property is located on Hwy 90, or as the locals call it "The Beach". If you wanted to hang out on the beach, it's a simple walk walk across the street. I stayed in a king suite . It came equipped with a sofa, workspace (desk, outlet, lamp), and refrigerator (for extended stay/to keep cool items cool. The bed was huge and accompanied with crisp white sheets, clean pillows, top sheet and comforter. I'm always nervous when I travel because I'm worried about HOW CLEAN is CLEAN...there is no QUESTION regarding clean AND comfortable. There is also a water/play structure available for families traveling with young children. In addition, they have a self serve store" for amenities such as bottled water and over the counter meds (Tylenol, Motrin), and light snacks. The property also has a casual (yet QUALITY) grill (The Oasis Grill) that serves, breakfast, lunch, and dinner. The Marlin Restaurant is also located onsite for more fine dining options. Whenever I travel back to the beautiful Mississippi Gulf Coast, I will ABSOLUTELY consider The Oasis for my lodging choice. read more

We are extremely happy with this place. The checked is in super early since we drove through the night and got here earlier than expected. The staff has been amazing. Our kid friendly room with bunk beds, is clean, roomy, and otherwise very pleasant. Parking has been e trembly adequate. We will definitely stay here again. read more

I booked a deluxe patio room in January. I drove 9 hrs to get here and when I went to check in I was told they didn't have that room. I was told 2 (out of 5) of their patio rooms were having a water problem& were not available. I asked how long that had been and was told a couple of weeks. My question was why didn't call me and let me know so I could look for another room. All they could say was"I don't know what to tell you". I was furious ,I drove all that way and they could have prevented it.. eventually after complaining alot they sent me to Margaritaville in biloxi. DO NOT MAKE RESERVATIONS HERE!! You will be sorry!!! read more

We booked a kids suite and we're given two queens.Had a pretty disappointed kid. Spot lights come directly into your bedroom. Bathrooms are sparing and only one for the entire pool area. You know what that means. Beds are nice and so are rooms but lots of work needs to be done for this to be a five star location. read more

Great for families with little kids! Really enjoyed it and will be back. Food is so so at the grille read more

Great family get away! They offered something for everyone on our group, no matter the age.

This is a great place to stay at the Centennial Plaza. This is a fairly new hotel location in Gulfport and it is a welcomed change from the run of the mill hotel chains. The breakfast food at the Oasis Grill will not disappoint anyone and the prices are very reasonable. The omelets are large and filling but my personal favorite (eaten 3 days in a row) is the Big Breakfast Platter. You get a hefty serving of eggs, bacon, sausage, toast, the breakfast potatoes or grits (We love the breakfast potatoes) and a buttermilk pancake! Paired with a cup of coffee & the fresh fruit (took back to the room to snack on later), this meal kept me full all day! The staff is very friendly and the atmosphere is relaxed and casual but definitely not a diner or traditional breakfast joint. read more

We just recently stayed 5 days. I wish I could say everything was great but it wasn't. The pool area is great. Nice pool, lazy river, swim up bar, water slides, and big kiddie area that we really enjoyed. The grill food wasn't great but service was good. There was a foul mildew smell in the lobby of building we stayed in by the grill and arcade area. Our main issues were with our room. We booked a kids suite. Within a couple of hours of check in my daughter reached under the bunk beds for her toy and noticed wet carpet. Upon inspection there was an active ac leak with water coming through baseboard and wet carpet. We were initially told no other rooms available. Then later told there was one room they could move us but not the same type of room. Even though the room we booked cost more when booking they would not offer any money back. Someone came to look at the leak but did nothing. The room had a wet smell our entire time there. Second day there the a/ c stopped blowing cold. They did send someone to fix it however after the fix it made a loud buzzing for 30 seconds every 3 minutes. I had to sleep with tissue in my ears and pillow over my head due to the loud buzzing every 3 minutes. The kids could not even sleep in bunk bed because noisy a/c was located a few feet above top bunk. I asked them to please check it while we were out on day 3, which they said they would, but came back that night to same noise. After two horrible nights of sleep because if buzzing, we ended up checking out at 9:30 pm instead of staying the last night because of the a/c noise. read more

My family and I stayed at the Centennial Plaza- Oasis Resort Monday, June 19-Friday, June 23rd. On Monday June 19 we reported to the staff via text that we had mold in our room above the door. They sent maintenance to clean it with some clorox and water. The maintenance man stated that mold is an ongoing problem within the hotel, because the hallways stay hotter than the rooms. The week continued and we kept an eye on the mold spot. Thursday evening we found more mold in the closet of our room. My wife then took pictures and went to the front desk to talk to them about the situation. She explained to the employee Bria (she was a new employee) what was going on and she waited to talk to the manager on duty Cheri. Without getting the whole story or wanting to see pictures the manager stated that she could not compensate all she could do was move us to a different room and that we should have told them earlier about the mold. Cheri stated that their hotel policy for mold in a room is to move the guests to a different room and close off the moldy room for clorox cleaning. My wife tried to tell Cheri that we already had maintenance come out and clean some mold, but we found new mold. Cheri said that all we could do was move rooms. Then my wife proceeded to ask why we weren't moved when we told them about the mold before, Cheri then stated that my wife was being childish and that she was about to call the cops and have her removed from the premises. We were assigned a new room in a different building that was across the parking lot. Mind you we have 3 children ages 6, 3, and 10 months. My wife is also 5 months pregnant. My wife came back to the room and told me everything. I proceeded to go up to the front desk to speak to them myself and see what could be done. When I got to the desk, I waited for Cheri to finish her smoke break and phone call. What she told me was they could put us in a room in the same building but it would be an upcharge. I stated that I was not paying the upcharge and she then that's fine but I would have to speak to Ron the following day about compensation and go from there. I developed a migraine headache Thursday and we also noticed my son had been coughing for a few days. All symptoms were resolved within in 12hrs of being in the new room. Friday morning I tried to speak to Ron but was told he was in a meeting but that manager Sheila relayed all of the info to Ron and they comped 1 nights stay. Also, we booked the hotel for the convenience of the waterpark. Monday the water was closed for the rest of the day for rain. Tuesday it was open 30 min before it was closed for lightening delay. It did storm a lot that day but stopped around 3:30-4pm.we had to wait until 5pm for.it to open because the staff had left for the day. It wasn't until guests complained and asked them to call the manager. Otherwise they weren't going to open. The same thing happened on Thursday as well. This resort is booked FOR the waterpark, and it costs entirely too much to stay there for the park to be closed. The workers just walking around the water park watching their weather apps jist waiting for a lightening alert so they can close. They do not look like they want to be at work. 10/10 would not recommend the Oasis and my family will not be back. read more

When we arrived at the Centennial Plaza Oasis Resort, full of months-long anticipation, the desk clerk looked at her computer and had an alternative arrangement for us: instead of the 2 double beds room for 2 nights, they had 1 king for 4 nights. With two grown kids this was unacceptable especially because we had our emailed confirmation in hand with full description in evidence. This person simply said here's a phone number to call to find alternative accommodations, and we are sorry but there is nothing else they could do. There was no effort on their part to offer any lifeline for potential future visits to Centennial. What good is a confirmed reservation when the resort is not able to deliver?? I would tell anyone not to trust this resort in the future. read more

Oh my gosh oasis is so much fun. My daughter brought her friend with her and her brother went also. There is a humongous splash pad that is actually fun for older kids! There's two waterslides a lazy river swimming pool and a swim up bar for grown-ups. When you're swimming in the pool you can order food and eat out there also! The only thing I didn't like about this place is the hotel room our first hotel room has a lizard in it but otherwise it is amazing and so much fun the waterslides close at eight and the pool and lazy river closes at nine or 10. Also I forgot something, the breakfast is amazing they have beignets hot chocolate it's so good!! read more

I loved reading this, even excited about the beautiful buildings an the oak trees as we drove in. The kids saw the slide and we were full of excitement. This property is the most beautiful I have ever stayed at .... and that's about all you have to offer. We checked into our room which was a comfy 78 degrees, not a big deal... I just figured it has been unoccupied for a while, after a two hour road trip I slid into the bathroom and opened the lid to find a oily water substance in the bowl accompanied by a rotten strawberry. I started to get a little sideways due to spending $193.07 for one night. But, not to worry or ruin our staycation... I flushed it. Moving back into the beautiful room I walked back over to the air conditioner thermostat and concluded that we had an issue, the temp was set at 67... yet it was 78 in the room. I was going to right the discrepancy down on a note pad, I opened the drawer and guess what I found... damn if it wasn't another rotten strawberry. I tell you, I didn't even think they were still in season... and from the looks of it, it was from the first harvest. At this point I was near the edge, but I made a call... well never-mind, I attempted 4 of them because no one answered so my wife went to the front desk and told them that I had rotten fruit in my night stand and a broken a/c. She said she would send someone right up, I said no biggy we were headed to the pool. We went to the most amazing pool I have ever seen at a hotel, splash pad was great, slides were awesome and the drinks are the bar were ok. We decided to take our 3 and 4 year old back to the room to get showers for dinner, when we came into the room the a/c was still broke, and just to check for the heck of it, I found the same damn rotten strawberry in the nightstand. As you can imagine at this point it was about to get fun. My wife went back down stairs and talked to an impatient manager that didn't seem to care about our issue or the other customer that was letting her know about her issue. They told us it would be fixed right away. The maintenance man came upstairs and told us that he turned it off and turned it back on, "it should work now" well thanks man, also can you get this strawberry that is rotten from the night stand, he smiled and shook his head.. at this point I'm like damn, these people from Mississippi really have a passion for strawberries..(is it the state fruit?) so he walked out the door... perhaps this was a WW1 ghost, because I swear he walked through the door and when I looked down the hall he was gone. So, we got ready for dinner and my wife wanted to stop by the front desk, she voiced our concerns for a third time... this was a new crew so they were eager to help. They said they would make it right and send Casper... I mean the maintenance man to a new room to see if the A/C was cool enough for us. We said we just want it made right. We left, went to dinner and when we returned... still no a/c and still the strawberry... at this point I'm not sure if they are just screwing with me. So I packed up all my stuff with the sleeping kids in the car and I even packed up Timothy (I have hung out with the strawberry for so long I gave him a name) and took it to the front desk... we voiced our concern for the forth time, we were given a new room key and we went in with two sleeping kids on each shoulder... only to find another broken a/c. At the time of me writing this letter, I'm sitting in a 78 degree room. In my underwear and we are having to sleep on the covers. I hope to speak to management in the morning. A word of advice, you can have the most beautiful wedding cake, but if it taste like crap that's all the guest will talk about. You have a beautiful wedding cake, but the inside is crap. I feel it is fair to make a positive update! The General Manager Randy called me first thing this morning and was very apologetic. He was very professional and definitely went out of his way to correct the way our stay had turned out. He assured me the cleaning issues had been addressed and that he also was going to speak to the employees that were had supposed to clean the room. He stated that the A/C in all the rooms had been installed last Thursday... I told him that since the temp would not go above 78, or below 77... it seems to be a programming issue with new thermostats. I feel all these issues will be resolved and we look forward to giving it a few months and try them back out. Thanks again Randy for showing true professionalism and leadership. read more

I called to ask about renting a room and also questioned about extra wristbands for the water park area. You can only get 4 wristbands per room and only can purchase an extra 2 wristbands at $40 a piece. I found this to be ridiculous. Will be going elsewhere. read more

We spent one night here with 2 toddlers and a baby, mainly to check out the fun waterpark. The waterpark itself was fabulous- the kids loved the huge splash pad, large slides, and lazy river. They were even allowed to get a smoothie at the swim up bar which they thought was cool. There are no lifeguards -there are employees watching at different points throughout the waterpark, but I think they are just making sure no one is causing trouble, because our 3 yr old who can swim and float jumped into the lazy river without us and started crying because he lost his swimming shoe and the employees did not even pay any attention. Also the bartender at the swim up bar seemed really stressed out and first forgot to run my card for payment, and when she remembered like 15 min later, she double charged us for our drinks so we needed to wait an additional 15 min just so a manager could come to the swim up bar to refund us and charge us the correct amount. The room was clean. The room design is average, the light switch for the bathroom is really weird as it is on the outside of the bathroom on the opposite side of where the door opens up. Overall, great place for kids to have fun. The kids are already begging us to go back. read more
