We stay in Orient, and my observation is that before the causeway, going through Marigot or P-burg were about the same, time-wise. With the opening of the causeway, I feel like it shaved 10 or 15 minutes off the Marigot way (and is easier if you don't know the dutch side very well.) The Cole Bay Carrefour is only a block or 2 out of the way if you take the Marigot route. BTW, I am confident that the Super U carries Bacardi, can't speak to Pepsi or club soda.
