Take a look:

Dubbed "the crown jewel of the Mississippi Gulf Coast," Centennial Plaza is a 48-acre resort complex. Rather new, it opened earlier this month.

The "perfect destination" features two hotels, a couple of restaurants, a three-acre water playground, and a 25,000-gallon dancing fountain.

As historic as it is luxe, the resort is housed in 10 beautifully restored buildings from yesteryear.

On the grounds, you’ll find two hotels – Oasis Resort and Grand Centennial Hotel. Both have their perks, but if you’re traveling with children, you’ll want to stay at the Oasis Resort, which has Kids Suites.

The kid-friendly suites include bunk beds for children and a larger bed for adults – all of which is separated by a wall, giving adults a bit of privacy when needed.
