Where the tiles porcelain or ceramic? Decent adhesive should have dried into the biscuit of a ceramic tile as the moisture could not dry into the glazed tile substraight. If the tiles you put on where porcelain then the adhesive had only the relatively small grout lines to dry out.
It does sound like crappy adhesive though. Pity the job turned out bad but fix it well and on and up!
