Getting to the spa is "hectic," but this "stress" is "more than made up for" once visitors reach the spa. The spa's environment, then, is the opposite of hectic or stressful; it is calm or soothing. The correct answers, "pacific" and "placid," both match this meaning. Although spas are often "elegant" or luxurious," this pair does not match the meaning of calm or soothing. "Effusive," which means gushing, and "blithe," which means cheerfully indifferent or happy, are also not good matches for the desired meaning.
