The resort is accessible only by boat and is notable for its romantic setting, snorkeling, and sunset views over the bay.

Visitors can expect a small heart-shaped island surrounded by shallow turquoise water and coral reefs in Tomini Bay. The island features 15 overwater wooden villas connected by wooden walkways and bridges, a central restaurant and lounge, and open sea views. Access is by 15-20 minute boat transfer from Patoameme Harbor. Visitors can explore the walkways, swim and snorkel in designated areas, kayak, and view sunsets over the bay. The setting is quiet and resort-managed with limited capacity.

Pulo Cinta developed as Pulo Cinta Eco Resort in the 2010s to promote marine tourism in Tomini Bay, utilizing the island's natural heart-shaped formation and building overwater villas inspired by Maldivian resorts while aiming to preserve the surrounding marine environment.

The island is locally valued as an icon of Gorontalo marine tourism and is widely associated with romantic getaways and honeymoons due to its heart shape and secluded overwater setting.
