I agree - the west facing lanai's are nice in the winter when the weather is cooler - perfect for snowbirds. But most will agree that for year round people, we have so much really, really hot weather, that the east lanai is preferred. I'll never forget my neighbors talking about their west facing lanai,and how they just couldn't use it in the hot summers. They used the word "fry".
