Like everything here there are Pro's and Con's. I happen to like the West facing Lanai. Several reasons. We have a pool and it gets many degrees warmer in the spring much sooner and stays warm longer in the fall than if on the East side. Evenings are warmer after the sun goes down. A really good umbrella on wheels works wonders to provide shade when it does get hot. A good fan helps. Sunsets are the best. So a lot depends on when you want to use the lanai. Weather your there all year long, and what your future plans are for the space. Every home has four sides. So if you face east you can have your coffee on the front porch and your evening toddy on the lanai. If your lanai is facing North, you get more use in the summer but less in the winter. So you can make the best use of the space no matter what way you face if you map it to your life style.
