Our family of 5 will be back! Spacious, clean, beautiful rooms (Suite room had a King bed and bunk beds with a 2nd tv-perfect!) Everything you could want was on property to have a great time - Water park with swim up bar had adult and kids drinks...restaurants with delicious food and now they just opened on site a brand new 2-story arcade and mini golf Hippie Fish. We loved every minute here. Didn't have to leave the property, just relaxed and enjoyed a carefree family trip.

“Not worth the price for our family of 4”

This was our second trip to Centennial Plaza and I REALLY wanted to like it. Our first trip was the middle of July, just a couple's weekend.

This was our second trip to Centennial Plaza and I REALLY wanted to like it. Our first trip was the middle of July, just a couple's weekend. Then we went as a family with 2 teens the first full week of August. The Good: the lazy river. Honestly, that was the whole reason we booked this place to begin with. We all loved just hanging out at the lazy river on our Orlando vacation a couple years ago and wanted a repeat. Like most lazy rivers, when you get a bunch of kids in it, it becomes a little hectic, but we know that going in and don't let it bother us. The bartenders at the swim-up bar were nice, though the options are pricy. The BAD: Check-in is AWFUL. If you choose to stay here, don't check in on a Sunday. At least, I suppose checking in on other days would be more efficient with less volume. Check-in is later that most places, 4 pm. BUT! We didn't get room keys until after 5 pm. For both of our stays, we did a pre-check-in check-in where we filled out our papers and presented payment about 3:45. We were then told our room wasn't ready and to wait for a phone call. On our first trip we got the call about 4:20, but then had to stand in line again to get keys. On our second trip, we NEVER got the call. By 4:30, we got back in line to wait; the hostess said she hadn't had time to make the calls. Bless her, she was the ONLY WORKER. That there was only one person at check-in for a resort with multiple buildings was ridiculous. We were hot, tired, sweaty, and pretty upset by the time we were able to get into our room. The Mid: everything else. We were in the CP Hotel, not the family Oasis building. The 2-bed standard room was just "fine." Nothing special about it. Beds are ok. Towels are ok. There were stains on the carpet, both chairs, and ottoman. TV was crooked on the wall and wobbled if you touched it. To make both beds fit, one of them was pushed straight up against the wall. There is no microwave, which is fine when it was just the 2 of us, but with our family, that's now our new deal-breaker. Tiny fridge has no freezer compartment. Tiny one-cup coffee maker. There were only 2 hangers. The food at Hippie Fish was pretty good (their onion rings are great!), but my husband felt like the breakfast at Oasis tasted like it came out of a box. The QR codes on the pamphlet they give you at check-in don't work, so we went downstairs to the hotel bar (which does breakfast also) to find out about the menu and had a nice chat with the folks at the bar, but then the next morning there was no one working and we were told that the bar was closed. No breakfast that day-no signs-no heads-up. We wound up ordering pick up from the near-by Waffle House. All in all, for us, a family of 4 with 2 teens, we will not be back. For the price we paid, we can get something similar or larger space-wise, with a microwave and maybe even a hot breakfast and coffee.
