What is your average humidity without both?
Ideally you want to have both and use them when needed as needed.

Neither
Humidifier will boost humidity but does not lower or raise temperature
De-humidifier raises temperature as it lowers humidity
I would suspect your best bet would be a lot of air movement

The best option of the two you mention is probably air conditioner...Though I agree that if that's not reasonable, using good circulation fans in your grow space and maybe a good ventilation fan that might pull any additional humidity that your plants add to the environment out and away. The bigger problem is that the environment in the islands tends to be pretty humid no matter what.

I highly recommend looking into buying a hygrometer. This will give you an idea of what temperature and humidity you are at. There are fancy ones that you can check through an app remotely as well.
Here is a link to a basic one without all the fancy for $10.

33c (91.5f) is on the very top edge of what I'd consider comfort zone for cannabis. Obviously there were landrace plants that thrived in the tropics & islands in those temps but the plants seem to grow better in the zone between 25c-30c. LED lighting will drive up temps in enclosed growing conditions, but also gives you a few degrees of wiggle room since leaf surface temperature (LST) tends to be a couple degrees lower than ambient temps.

Air conditioners often reduce humidity as they cool.
I say either get an air conditioner or a dehumidifier, or both.

I honestly believe what you are saying wasn’t able to get the 6500 off Amazon and it cost $8500tt in my country that’s $1270.23 usd so I choose the fce4800 instead
