Grand Centennial Hotel at Centennial Plaza - Gulfport

Guests who stayed here loved

“Everywhere we went the staff excelled. They made the trip special by treating us as if they were glad to see us. Everyone seemed to enjoy their work. From waitresses to pool people, we did not meet anyone who seemed disgruntled. The pool has slides for kids and separate for older people. The lazy river was wonderful. The water is salty so the chlorine did not hurt our skin & hair. There is a sweet shop at the pool with ice creams, also a swim up bar. You can order food from the Oasis Grill and they will deliever to the pool area. I had pizza. It was good. My son had chicken tenders and waffle sweet potato fries. He said it was good, but not as good as Hippi Fish. Let me say now, Hippie Fish food is hard to beat. We had breakfast at the Oasis Grill. I had a latte and the vegetable omelet. Both were very good. Madi served us. She was kind and helpful. One of the star staff that made our visit spectacular. My son had potatoes, bacon and fruit with hot tea. He enjoyed it all. The fruit was fresh. Hippie Fish. We ate there for lunch, dinner and a snack. It was all delicious. The fries are not frozen. They are wonderful as was the fried okra and the onion rings. The hamburgers and fried tenders were yummy. I had a side salad. It was all very fresh. The deserts were to die for. We were so full after the generous meal portions, we came one day for a snack of deserts and milk alone. Our waitress, Celia, was certainly a star. She made our experience memorable. A truly lovely human being. We met the manager. She was fantastic as well. We played the 2 floor game rooms at Hippie Fish. They offer a wide variety so the young and the old can find things they enjoy playing. We played one of the 18 hole mini golf during the day, and came back to do the other 18 hole course at night. My son enjoyed the glow ball as much as the game. Hippie Fish mini golf course, game room and restaurant all all extremely clean. Well kept. It is pricy, but much less than Disney and lots of fun. We stayed at "The Oasis." It was nice but the beds are little hard for my taste. I sleep on a marshmallow at home so others may like the firmness. The room was not as clean as I hoped. I had towel issues, but the staff brought more. The toliet seat was not in well and came off. The room was not extremely dirty, just not as well kept as I like. All of the good far outweighed these issues. This is where you go for the fun & food. I was told the Cenntinnel is more plush and the Oasis family style. I look forward to returning to experience and review the Centennial rooms in the future. My final comment is "GO!" It is pricy, but less expensive than Disney or Universal. You need a minimum two nights to do all we did, and three nights so you do not need a rest after your vacation.”
