disappointing dinner

the room had all the facilities one would need in the bedroom and bathroom.
I went for dinner with my fiancé for my birthday and the tables were too close together. i could hear the people next to us breathing. I did not like this at all. i ordered the fish of the day, very bland, and the waitress seemed unconcerned if we enjoyed our experience!
