Plot

[edit]

Four childhood best friends – Jane, Sophie, Coco, and Mel – have grown apart as adults due to their busy lives. Coco books a spa weekend at the Solaris Resort for her, Jane, and Sophie for Jane's birthday weekend, but they decide not to invite Mel because she is reckless and gets them into trouble. However, a guilty Sophie invites Mel at the last minute.

Mel causes a few disruptions during the weekend, like getting Sophie fired from her job after yelling at her boss, and also getting Coco's ex-husband Roger to show up at the resort. Jane ends up hooking up with a yoga instructor named Kai, while Sophie submits her resume to the hotel since she managed to fix a computer issue quickly. Coco also ends up reconnecting with Roger, though he has no intentions of getting back together even though they sleep together.

Mel nearly gets the group kicked out after stealing and crashing a golf cart, but Jane convinces resort manager Shanti to let them stay after a warning. Mel throws a party for Jane with strippers and other hotel guests, which causes some more damage to the hotel. The ladies are arrested and Coco tells Mel how the group really feels about her since she is such a disaster. Shanti tries to press charges against the ladies, but Mel takes full responsibility so they can go, banning all of them from returning to the resort. After learning from Roger that Mel is broke and lonely, the ladies return to the resort to convince Shanti to drop the charges against Mel after defending her. Shanti begrudgingly agrees just so they shut up.

Jane gets with Kai, and Sophie is hired by Solaris to check out all of their hotels and resorts. The ladies go on their next trip to Monte Carlo.
