This map shows both routes. According to Google Maps, the causeway route is five minutes faster. It's hard to tell here, but I think the causeway route has you going through the center of Marigot. I would take the outside route through Galisbay. The traffic is usually lighter, and the view is definitely better.

We've done it both ways, as I'm sure others have. From RP area, we prefer the route through Dutch Quarter because we don't like the traffic that normally presents itself by Marigot. The hills are not a problem. If you do go the causeway route, I also would recommend driving the outside Galisway route.

Ed,
Not GaKaye, but I believe Galisbay is the area in Marigot just beyond the new waterfront marina that many will refer to as 'the water route' through Marigot when heading towards the Cripple Gate/La Savane area. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/handshake.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/handshake.gif" alt="" />
Respectfully,

Thank you! I tried to write a description of how to do it, but couldn't figure it out exactly. My husband drives, I just look at the view.
To the op, those arrows show the route coming from Grand Case; if you're going to Orient, it would be reversed.
