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.

The "grass like" outdoor carpet that we had for 25 years, dried very quickly and did not get moldy. We never had to vacuum up any water. Tile is also a good choice, but more expensive to install. The outdoor carpet is very inexpensive and can be replaced easily.
