    Let's plan something worth remembering.

    Cana Gardner, Travel Advisor, serves families, couples, multigenerational travelers, seasoned explorers, and group travelers with thoughtfully curated journeys. Specializing in the Xcaret Hotel collection and Riviera Maya logistics, she pairs deep on-the-ground knowledge of Mexico's most-talked-about all-inclusives with seamless planning for Antigua escapes, Caribbean cruises, and personalized tropical itineraries.

    With a passion for travel sparked by her own honeymoon, Cana brings a personal touch to every trip. She is known for her enthusiasm, attention to detail, and deep commitment to creating experiences that reflect each traveler's unique interests and style. From tropical getaways and island adventures to multi-destination cruises, Cana ensures every itinerary is stress-free, memorable, and flawlessly executed.

    Outside of travel planning, Cana is a busy mom of four. She and her family enjoy staying active in their community through volunteering and events, and Christ is at the center of their home.

    Trips I've loved.

    A small sample of the journeys I've designed — and the moments that still make me smile.

    Royal Caribbean · Mexico

    Royal Caribbean · Mexico

    Sailing Royal Caribbean to the Mexican coast — turquoise water, easy beach days, and the kind of trip that turns first-time cruisers into lifers.

    Antigua · 365 Beaches

    Antigua · 365 Beaches

    Soft white sand, calm Caribbean blues, and a beach for every day of the year. Antigua is the slow, sun-soaked escape I send couples to again and again.

    Jamaica · Lush Coast

    Jamaica · Lush Coast

    Mountains meeting the sea, warm hospitality, and rhythm in the air — Jamaica delivers a real sense of place on every trip.

    Universal Orlando · With the Kids

    Universal Orlando · With the Kids

    Universal with my four kids — Wizarding World mornings, Express Pass strategy, and the joy of seeing them light up at every ride.
