The first home we bought had a west facing lanai. Great in the morning, too hot in the afternoon. We put in a paver patio in the front so we could sit outside in the afternoon.
The home we're in now has a north facing lanai and we love it. If we were to ever buy again we would stick with north facing.
We love the fresh air so we have no desire to enclose our lanai. But that's just presonal preference. As some have said, there's no perfect orientation. Just depends on whats the most important to you.
Pluses and minuses, just like everything in life.
