Plot
Samantha Vance, played by JJ North, inherits the run-down Tiki Hotel when her father dies. She decides to fix it up but has problems drumming up business. Her friends throw a party at the hotel and it becomes clear that she can make money if she turns it into the "Bikini Hotel" with all of the staff members wearing bikinis. This elicits jealousy in Jacqueline Renee, played by Tina-Desiree Berg, and her boss, Gail Regent, played by Stella Stevens, who run the adjacent Regent Hotel. They want to turn Samantha's hotel into a parking lot. It all culminates in a miniature golf competition in which the winner keeps the Bikini Hotel. Julie Strain makes an appearance as Jacqeline Renee's spy Raquel.[1]
