The rest of us, though, are not bound by such strictures, and the reasons to continue using the gulf\u2019s universally accepted, nearly 500-year-old descriptor are plentiful, ranging from convenience, to resistance, to simply following AP standards (which still call for Gulf of Mexico), or simply not following edicts from a government that isn\u2019t your own (very few countries, if any, recognize the change). <\/p>\n<p>Calling it the Gulf of America wouldn&#8217;t be completely devoid of logic; it is, after all, the largest gulf in the two American continents. Neither is the America the new name looks to glorify, though. The change itself is as ill-timed as it is ahistorical. The gulf received its name centuries before the United States was even a country. European explorers named it after <em>Mexica<\/em>, the Nahuatl name for the Aztec Empire. Meanwhile, today&#8217;s Latinos in the U.S. are under regular threat from ICE, sparking outrage across the nation. <\/p>\n<p id=\"anchor\">\n<p> So where do we stand? As always, on the side of hospitality. In November of 2016, our co-founder sent an email out to all of our users, describing his pride at being an immigrant in New York City, and reminding us that \u201cHospitality \u2014 the friendly and generous reception and entertainment of guests, visitors, or strangers \u2014 is one of humanity\u2019s most beautiful gestures.\u201d He explained how he created Tablet to help people shed their prejudices and enhance their empathy, the byproducts of traveling and leaving your comfort zone. To do otherwise would be a sin.<\/p>\n<p>Oh right, hotels. Here they are. Six in the States and six in Mexico. Sharing is caring, baby. Some are right on the gulf, some are in sight of it, and some others might require a quick cab ride (or souped-up golf cart) to reach it. All of them are titans of the Tablet selection.<br \/>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]\n<div style=\"height:1px;border-top:3px double #ccc;margin-top:30px;margin-bottom:60px;display:block;clear:both\"><\/div>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tablethotels.com\/en\/veracruz-hotels\/hotel-azucar\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Hotel Azucar<\/a><\/h2>\n<h5 style=\"text-align: center;\">Veracruz, Mexico<\/h5>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tablethotels.com\/en\/veracruz-hotels\/hotel-azucar\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/static.prod.r53.tablethotels.com\/media\/ecs\/global\/magazine\/story-images\/20251108-Gulf\/HotelAzucar.jpg\" alt=\"Hotel Azucar\" width=\"970\" height=\"auto\" border=\"0\" data-gae=\"Magazine, Clicked, Image\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The little beach town of Veracruz is the perfect place for a design-savvy eco-retreat like Hotel Azucar \u2014 instead of post-industrial concrete and oil tanks, here we\u2019re back to thatched-roof bungalows, albeit ones with crisp all-white contemporary bedrooms inside.
