Full plot (contains spoilers)
Four childhood best friends—Jane, Sophie, Coco, and Mel—reconnect for a spa weekend at the Solaris Resort. While Coco, Jane, and Sophie initially try to exclude the reckless Mel, Sophie invites her last minute. Mel quickly causes trouble by getting Sophie fired and bringing Coco's ex-husband, Roger, to the resort. During the stay, Jane hooks up with a yoga instructor named Kai, and Sophie manages to fix a computer issue to land a job at the hotel. Coco reconnects with Roger, though they sleep together without plans to reconcile. The situation escalates when Mel steals and crashes a golf cart, nearly getting the group kicked out, and later throws a party with strippers that damages the hotel. After the ladies are arrested, Coco confronts Mel about her behavior. Mel takes the fall for the group to secure their release, resulting in a ban from the resort. Upon learning Mel is broke and lonely, the friends return to the resort to convince the manager, Shanti, to drop the charges. Shanti agrees, and the film ends with Jane with Kai, Sophie hired by Solaris, and the friends heading to Monte Carlo.
