Actually in CGAL 3.5 there is a whole chapter dedicated to that kind  
of reconstruction. Here is the entry :
CGAL_HTML_MANUAL_PATH/Surface_reconstruction_points_3/Chapter_main.html
There is a pipeline of steps you should follow.
From my little experience with it : it works great as long as you  
have enough points i.e. your points cloud should not be too sparse.
