As you notice from the above discussion, "good" and "bad" is very much a personal thing. However, in the summer, the sun sets in the northwestern sky. So, if you like to watch sunsets, that's a good thing. However, if you don't want the late afternoon heat from direct sun, that's a bad thing.

During the winter time, the sun is in the southern sky (rising in the southeast and setting in the southwest). So, during that part of the year, your lanai will likely receive no sun at all. If that is good or bad is up to you to decide.
