Hi, I've not lived in either but have holidayed in both and also did quite a lot of searching around the Gandia/Oliva region when we were thinking of moving there from near Torrevieja.
In a nutshell, I would describe Denia as being more 'foreign populated' and possibly more of a foreign holiday destination than Gandia which (although it does have a holiday vibe, especially on the coast at Playa Gandia / Grau Gandia which is very very popular for Spanish holiday makers) - is more of a working city with all city facilities you would expect. Both are lovely places in appearance, cleanliness and vibe.
Oliva (which is about mid way between the two) is also a very nice place, with a fair percentage of foreigners living there permanently . It's a full working town too, and also has the beach about 2-3kms from the town.
There are several Facebook groups that service these areas - it might be worth posting some queries about specific services on there? And I also found this site if you haven't already
