Flamingo Hotel - Courtyard Hot Tub
722 Redcliff Drive SW Medicine Hat AB T1A 5E3 · Aquatic Facility
Inspection summary
Flamingo Hotel - Courtyard Hot Tub has been inspected 15 times by Alberta Health Services (Environmental Public Health) since November 17, 2023. The most recent inspection, on February 11, 2026, recorded 9 infractions.
None of the 15 inspections on record were free of infractions. In the past 12 months there was 1 inspection with 9 infractions recorded. The higher-risk findings here relate to: Pool and spa water quality, Chemicals and toxic substances and Food temperature control.
Recent inspections have recorded more infractions than earlier ones, so it is worth reading the latest reports closely.
What these findings mean
Health authorities word their findings differently, so we group them by what they mean for the people using the facility. Higher-risk findings are the ones that could directly cause illness or injury, such as water that is not properly treated.
Pool and spa water qualityHigher risk
For pools, spas and splash pads, inspectors test disinfectant levels, pH and water clarity, and check safety equipment. Water that is not properly treated can spread skin, ear and stomach infections.
Recorded 61 times across 15 separate inspections, most recently on February 11, 2026. For example:
Is the pool in compliance with verbal and/or written approvals and/or orders issued by an Executive Officer, and is the Executive Officer not being obstructed or interfered with in the exercise of his/her powers?
Chemicals and toxic substancesHigher risk
Pool chemicals such as chlorine and acid must be labelled, stored apart from each other and handled safely. Mixing them by mistake can release toxic gas, so storage and handling problems are treated seriously.
Recorded 11 times across 11 separate inspections, most recently on February 11, 2026. For example:
Is the chemical quality of the water in this pool satisfactory (Critical)?
Food temperature controlHigher risk
Inspectors check that anything that has to be kept at a set temperature, such as chilled or hot food, or equipment like sterilizers, stays in its safe range and that accurate thermometers are on hand. With food, temperature problems are one of the most common causes of food poisoning.
Recorded 11 times across 11 separate inspections, most recently on February 11, 2026. For example:
Is the pool maintained in a clean and sanitary condition, good repair and are temperatures being properly regulated?
Food safety training and certificationLower risk
Many jurisdictions require trained pool operators and certified lifeguards. These findings mean required training, certification or staffing records were missing at the time of inspection.
Recorded 15 times across 15 separate inspections, most recently on February 11, 2026. For example:
Does the pool have adequate written policies, plans and posted rules and safety information to ensure that the pool is operating in a safe manner?
