Do you really want to have "wet grass" whenever it rains? Cleaning it will not be as easy mopping up a tile floor after a hard rainstorm with horizontal rain. Although if you have a shop vac, you can vacuum the wet area which would accelerate the drying time.
We had a decking painted on our Lanai in our original build instead of leaving it just concrete. Very nice, easy to clean and looks better than concrete. I am able to scrub it and hose it down when needed, which was often because of all the construction going on. When we had our CYV we had tiled it. Also very happy with that, although the downside was keeping the grout lines clean. Make sure there were weep holes put in at the base of the screens to get the water out after a hard rain.
