We use our Lanai in the mornings and ours is facing a little south of west which makes it ideal having no sun in the mornings until mid afternoon. We don't have to put our air on until 4 o'clock or so and I get to enjoy working in the garage, washing my cars, or doing front yard work in the afternoon without sun beating down on me. Other than sitting in the lanai there is very little to do in the back of the house except watch the birds and alligators in the pond and that's in the comfort of the lanai. If we were to build again I think I would aim for the same set up. Just a personal preference.
