we are snowbirds with a west facing lanai - we enjoy the afternoon sun very much during the winter months...but...we did install roll-up blinds on the west windows in order to reduce the sun glare. the overhead fan does much to keep it cooled down on the early spring afternoons.
if we lived there year-round i think we would change the orientation - or would open it up to the house and put it under heat/air.
